Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
6 ounces Spanish chorizo, sliced into half moons
6 scallions, white and green parts, sliced
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 small orange bell pepper, cored and sliced
1 small red bell pepper, cored and sliced
1 small yellow bell pepper, cored and sliced
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
Pinch kosher salt and pinch freshly ground black pepper
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
One 1-pound container refrigerated potato gnocchi
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
Basil leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo, scallions, garlic and orange, red and yellow peppers and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chorizo is browned and has turned the oil red, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Add the tomato paste, Cajun seasoning, salt and pepper, then stir and cook for 1 minute more. Stir in the chicken broth, heavy cream and Worcestershire sauce. Next, add the gnocchi and bring to a simmer. Simmer the mixture until the gnocchi has softened and cooked, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the Parmesan and sprinkle with basil leaves to serve.
