Red Cabbage-Apple Cauliflower Gnocchi

Tender cabbage and a vibrant applesauce-mustard pan sauce are the perfect pairing for pillowy low-carb cauliflower gnocchi. Add diced chicken-apple sausage for extra protein.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups shredded red cabbage
  • 2 tablespoons water, divided
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 (12 ounce) bag frozen cauliflower gnocchi
  • ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • Freshly ground pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Place cabbage in a large microwave-safe bowl or baking dish. Add 1 tablespoon water. Cover tightly and microwave on High until softened, about 5 minutes.

  2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add gnocchi and cook, stirring frequently, until browned, about 5 minutes. Add cabbage and the remaining 1 tablespoon water; cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the water evaporates. Stir in applesauce and mustard and heat through. Season with pepper.
