Ingredients
  

  • 1 package gnocchi
  • 2-3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 medium-large head of cauliflower, cored and thinly sliced into bite-sized pieces on a mandoline (about 3 cups)
  • 2 shallots, minced (about 1/3 cup)
  • 1/4-1 /2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2-1 teaspoons red pepper flakes
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt (more to taste)
  • juice and zest of 1 orange (about 2 tablespoons of juice, zest to taste)
  • chives for topping

Instructions
 

  • Cook the gnocchi according to package directions until tender. Drain and set aside.
  • Heat the butter over high heat in a large nonstick skillet until shimmering. Add the cauliflower slices and gnocchi. Cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes until browned on one side, then stir and repeat until well-colored.
  • Add the minced shallots to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  • Pour in the heavy cream, orange juice, red pepper flakes, and salt. Stir to combine and simmer for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the gnocchi and cauliflower.
  • Serve immediately, garnished with fresh chives and additional orange zest.
