A fantastic way to pep-up store-bought gnocchi and turn it into something really special. We’re serving it with crispy chorizo, onions and peppers in a creamy-yet-spicy harissa and coconut milk sauce.
I also like to pack in fresh spinach and cherry tomatoes. A brilliant 30-minute weeknight dinner.
Free printable recipe is available on our site: https://www.kitchensanctuary.com/gnocchi-chorizo-harissa-sauce/
Ingredients:
▢1 tsp sunflower oil
▢150 g (5.3 oz) diced chorizo – – Use your favourite variety. I use ready-chopped Spanish chorizo
▢1 small onion – , peeled and finely diced
▢1 red bell pepper – , deseeded and sliced
▢2 cloves garlic – , peeled and minced
▢¼ tsp salt
▢¼ tsp black pepper
▢1 ½ tbsp harissa paste
▢1 tbsp tomato puree (paste) – paste
▢200 ml (7 fl oz) full-fat coconut milk
▢150 g (5.3 oz) cherry (grape) tomatoes – sliced in half
▢500 g (17.6 oz) fresh gnocchi
▢60 g (2 packed cups) baby spinach
To Serve:
▢Chilli flakes
▢Black pepper
▢Freshly chopped parsley
Instructions:
1. Heat the oil in a large frying pan (skillet) over medium-high heat.
2. Add the chorizo and cook, stirring often, for 3-4 minutes, until the chorizo starts to release its oils.
3. Use a slotted spoon to remove the chorizo. Place in a bowl and put to one side.
4. Turn the heat on the pan down to medium and add the chopped onion, bell pepper, garlic, salt and pepper.
5. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring often, until the onion and peppers soften.
6. Meanwhile, bring a large pan of water to the boil for the gnocchi.
7. Add the harissa paste and tomato puree to the pan with the onions and stir together.
8. Add the coconut milk and cherry tomatoes, stir and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
9. Meanwhile, add the gnocchi to the pan of boiling water and cook for 2-4 minutes, until the gnocchi floats to the top of the pan.
10. Once the gnocchi is cooked, use a slotted spoon to remove from the pan and place directly in the frying pan with the sauce.
11. Add the spinach and the chorizo you cooked earlier.
12. Stir together and cook for a further 1-2 minutes, until the spinach wilts.
13. Serve topped with chilli flakes, black pepper and fresh parsley.

What do you think, should I make homemade gnocchi? 🤔
Looks delicious and will defo be trying this, one question, i have never had gnocchi, could you not just cook it in the dish instead of boiling it first or does it have to be cooked separately

Been and bought all the ingredients which I didn’t have, this is tonight’s dinner 👍
Just wanted to say I have cooked a few of your recipes now and they are great and I tried this one tonight and it is really delicious, the best one yet, my family loved it. I also want to say a massive thank you for all your hard work on this channel, as a house husband who also works full time the cooking had become a real chore and I was relying on store bought stuff more and more but since I found your channel I am really getting back to enjoying cooking for my family again. I thought you should know what you are doing is really helping, thank you so much.
Colin. 👍👍🏴👍
Just made this tonight, we have a 3 month old baby so quick easy but tasty meals is what we need every night atm! Loved this, would love another gnocchi recipe ☺️
I cook a lot of your recipes really delicious 😋
Hi Nicky, love your recipes. I have an allergy to coconut so what would be a good replacement for the coconut milk?
This is the second KS recipe I tried, and it too is delicious! I am hooked on this channel, recipes are easy to follow, and so good! Very creative combinations too.
Just made this and it was lovely, thank you, thing is though there is so much left over what with me living on me own, is it freezable?
cool
yuck 🤢 🤮
So glad I found your channel. I cooked this dish tonight & it was quick, uncomplicated & delicious. My partner doesn’t tolerate spicy food so I substituted Moroccan seasoning (available in Australia) & it was perfect. Can’t wait to try some more of your recipes.
Made this today and lapped up the entire bowl. Absolutely delicious and perfect for the autumnal weather. Feels like a warm hug, I absolutely love Harissa and this pairinng with Gnocchi and coconut milk is heavenly. Definitely going into my dinner staples.
Thank you I will try today.
Delicious recipe! My family loved it! Thank you for sharing.
Looks delicious!! I’ll be cooking this very soon ❤
Homemade gnocchi please ❤
