Homemade Cauliflower Gnocchi (Copycat Trader Joe's)
This homemade cauliflower gnocchi is a copycat version of one of my favorite Trader Joe's products, ever! It's such an easy, delicious, and versatile meal. Serve with your favorite pasta sauce, or on it's own with a protein!
Equipment
- Food Processor
- Boiling Pot
- Saute Pan
Ingredients
- 2 lbs fresh cauliflower florets 1 head cauliflower
- 1 cup cassava flour plus more for rolling surface
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 tbsp olive oil for sautéing
Instructions
- In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the cleaned cauliflower florets and boil for about 20 minutes until fork tender.
- Drain the water and add the cooked cauliflower to a clean dish towel. Let it cool for about 10 minutes or until it's no longer hot to the touch.
- Using the clean dish towel, squeeze out ALL water possible from the cauliflower. Use those muscles!
- Once you've squeezed out all the water you can, add that cauliflower to a large food processor along with about half the cassava flour. Pulse until a dough forms.
- Add the remaining cassava flour and sea salt and pulse once again. *If your food processor struggles, remove the dough ball and knead in the remaining cassava flour by hand.
- Transfer the dough ball to a clean, floured surface. Once it's kneaded into a ball, quarter the dough and roll in skinny "snakes" about 1/2 an inch thick.
- Once you have your "snake" pieces rolled, cut into small 1 inch pieces.
- Heat your saute pan on medium heat with a tablespoon olive oil. Add the gnocchi leaving some room in between each piece. Cook each side for about 2 minutes or until golden brown.
- Add about 1/4 cup water and a lid to the pan to let the gnocchi pieces steam for about 2 more minutes. Remove the gnocchi, add your favorite sauce, and enjoy!
