I recently went to Trader Joe's and I really wanted to try the cauliflower gnocchi, so I bought some! Unfortunately, I cooked it wrong and it didn't turn out how it should have, but the sauce I made for it was still really good! I wanted to share it with you because it uses things you probably have in the house and is super tomato-y.
You could definitely serve this with gnocchi (as long as you actually cook it properly!) or even just some regular pasta. Feel free to also add whatever herbs and flavors you like to customize this sauce! It's good as is but could definitely also benefit from some fresh herbs or veggies as well!
