I asked recently on Instagram what you wanted to see more of and the overwhelming answer was more STRAIGHTFORWARD, lazy night dinners. So that’s what we are doing today:)

ESPECIALLY straightforward in this case! We’re using the Ocean Mist Short Cook Sprouts, pre-made pesto (I’ve found a vegan one that I truly like), and a package of gnocchi. It all comes together so quickly but is still satisfying and SO satisfying.

I posted about the Short Cook Sprouts before (you can see that recipe HERE) and I’m still quite obsessed with them. I’ve always genuinely loved brussels sprouts but don’t always love how long they take to cook. These Ocean Mist Sprouts cook in only FIVE minutes and blow my mind every single time.

What is truly nice about the sprouts is that you can open the package, add your seasonings and then simply re-seal it before microwaving. Many other packages don’t allow that and being able to season them before cooking makes such a big difference.

How for this Pesto Gnocchi:

As I mentioned several times, this comes together particularly quickly!

Start out by bring ing a pot of water to a boil and then adding in the gnocchi. Once the gnocchi are in, you can prepare and microwave the sprouts. They’ll both be done right around the same time.

Drain the gnocchi and add it back into the same pot with the cooked sprouts and pesto. Stir it all together and you’re done! UNFUSSY.

I served mine with a little bit of parmesan cheese but you could leave that off completely or use a vegan parmesan as desired!

I’m genuinely excited to see y’all making this! I’ve made it several times over the past month and it’s DEEPLY GOOD every time. I only keep all of the ingredients on hand so it’s my go to when I don’t know what to make for dinner.

That’s all I have for today! As always, if you end up making this method, please snap a photo and tag me on Instagram @! I always love to see what y’all are making from the blog!
