Prep Time 5 minutes

Total Time 25 minutes
Servings 3

Ingredients

  • 1 package Trader Joe’s cauliflower gnocchi
  • 2 T grassfed unsalted butter
  • ¼ C yellow onion diced
  • 8 oz crimini mushrooms chopped
  • 1 bunch asparagus ends removed
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 T avocado oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 6 pieces of bacon optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spread the bacon pieces out. Bake for 15 minutes, or longer if you like your bacon crispier.  

  2. In a large pan on medium heat, add your avocado oil. Add in the diced onions and half of your minced garlic and sautee for ten minutes. Add in your crimini mushrooms and asparagus and sautee for another ten minutes. The asparagus is done when it is bright green and you can easily poke a fork through it. 
  3. In a separate pan, add the cauliflower gnocchi, the rest of the minced garlic and 2 T of grassfed butter and sautee on medium heat for 10 minutes.  
  4. Separate the asparagus for serving and toss the mushroom and onion mixture with the gnocchi. Add your bacon and your meal is complete.

Recipe Notes

  • You can easily remove the bacon to make this meal vegetarian.  
  • Substitute avocado oil for the grassfed butter if you'd like it to be vegan!
