INSTRUCTIONS

1
Cook the gnocchi and blanch the cauliflower

Bring large pot of salted water to a boil. Add gnocchi and cauliflower and cook until gnocchi float, 3 to 5 minutes. Reserve ½ cup cooking water and drain gnocchi and cauliflower.

2
Make the pistachio crumble

Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add pistachios and cook, stirring often, until brown and toasted, 3 to 5 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer to small bowl, leaving pistachio oil in skillet. Add lemon zest and a pinch of salt and pepper and toss to combine. Set aside pistachio crumble.

3
Make the cauliflower sauce

Heat skillet with pistachio oil over medium-high heat. Add cauliflower, gnocchi, and a pinch of salt and pepper and cook until browned, 4 to 7 minutes. Add garlic and just ¼ tsp red pepper flakes and cook until fragrant, 30 to 60 seconds. Add mustard, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, reserved pasta water, and a pinch of black pepper. Cook until sauce begins to thicken, 1 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat, add spinach, and toss to combine. (TIP: Add more red pepper flakes if you prefer more spice.)

4
Serve

Divide spaetzle-style gnocchi and lemon cauliflower between bowls and sprinkle with pistachio crumble. Guten appetit!
