Recipe ingredients and notes:
- You can buy sweet potato gnocchi in many general grocery stores. They are either in the frozen food aisle or close to where you find fresh pasta in the refrigerated section.
- Mexican chorizo bulk sausage meat is usually sold in one-pound packages. Since you only need half a pound for this recipe, I recommend to use the rest to make these chorizo tacos!
- If you have more fresh kale than this recipe calls for, you can use the rest to make this lemon garlic kale pasta.
How to make it:
