Pumpkin Gnocchi

This easy dish is made creamy by blending mascarpone cheese with our Pumpkin Mole Sauce to yield a rich and velvety sauce that perfectly coats a package of cooked gnocchi (or homemade if you have the time!). You won’t miss the meat with the roasted cauliflower that also brings another layer of hearty flavor to this autumn inspired dish.
