One-Pan Gnocchi
with Creamy Red Pepper Sauce & Kale
This one-pot pasta dish showcases four different types of red peppers: sweet, brined piquanté peppers from South Africa, medium-hot Calabrian chiles from Italy, mild roasted red peppers, and smoked paprika, both in the romesco sauce. The starches released from the gnocchi as it simmers, plus the ground almonds in the romesco, give the sauce a rich, creamy consistency.

INSTRUCTIONS
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil and garlic in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook until garlic is lightly browned and crispy, 2 to 3 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer garlic to small bowl and set aside. Reserve skillet with garlic oil for next step. (4-serving meal: use 2 tbsp olive oil)
Heat garlic oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Add kale and gnocchi and cook, stirring occasionally, until kale is bright green and gnocchi is golden in spots, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in 1 cup water and tomato powder, cover, and simmer until gnocchi are tender, 3 to 4 minutes. (4-serving meal: use 2 cups water)
Stir romesco into skillet with gnocchi. Divide gnocchi with creamy red pepper sauce and kale between bowls. Top with as much Calabrian pepper as you'd like. Sprinkle with piquanté peppers, crispy garlic, and parmesan. Mangia!
