Recipe Notes
Tips and Substitutions:
-
- Do not follow the bag directions on how to make Trader Joe's Cauliflower Gnocchi Bake- It comes out mushy and not so good.
- Use other gnocchi- You can either use homemade cauliflower gnocchi or traditional potato gnocchi to make this recipe.
- Substitute for baby spinach- You can use kale.
- Use fresh mozzarella cheese- Pre-packed shredded cheeses come with added starches to keep them from going bad. This prevents the cheese from melting like fresh cheese does.
