15 Minute Creamy Chipotle Sausage Gnocchi
This recipe was created by PlateUp.
Get the most delicious dinner on the table in 15 minutes. Dr. Will's Chipotle Ranch Dressing does all the heavy lifting here as it creates a velvety, flavour-loaded sauce with just the right balance of creamy richness, chipotle heat, and herby tang. It's got that addictive ranch flavour, but with a bold smoky kick that makes every bite pop. High quality sausages (with no nasty additives) are cooked off until golden, with garlic and onion for depth, then let the gnocchi soak up all the spicy, saucy goodness. We're using kale here, but you can swap in for your preferred greens - spinach or cavolo nero would also be delicious. Perfect for busy weeknights, but tasty enough to feel like a treat.
