Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Gnocchi with Caramelized Onion Cream Sauce
I love pairing these Trader Joe's Pumpkin Gnocchi with an incredibly cheesy caramelized onion cream sauce. They have just the right amount of pumpkin taste and they make the perfect easy fall recipe that tastes so cozy and delicious.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoon Salted Butter divided
- 2 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 2 medium Sweet Onions finely diced
- ¼ teaspoon Kosher Salt plus more for serving/boiling water
- ¼ teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
- ¼ cup Water
- ½ teaspoon Fresh Thyme Leaves
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- 2 boxes Trader Joe's Pumpkin Gnocchi
Instructions
- Add salted butter and olive oil to a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Add onions, kosher salt and red pepper flakes and stir. Turn the heat down to medium-low and caramelize, stirring often, for 30-40 minutes. If starting to stick or burn, stir in ¼ cup water at a time as often as needed.
- Once caramelized, add the fresh thyme and cook for 2 more minutes.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil with a hefty pinch of salt. Once the onions are caramelized, boil the gnocchi for 2-3 minutes or until they’re tender and floating.
- Remove the gnocchi from the water and transfer them to the caramelized onion skillet and toss with the remaining butter - cooking for a few minutes to slightly toast the gnocchi in all of the onion-y goodness.
- Add the heavy cream to the gnocchi and toss before stirring in the parmesan cheese.
- Season with salt and pepper before serving.
