Make
- Heat oven to 400F / 204C.
- Toss cauliflower with oil (portion for cauliflower), Italian seasoning, and some salt and pepper. Spread out on a sheet pan.
- Roast cauliflower, shaking the pan halfway through cooking, until cauliflower is tender and golden brown in spots, ~30 minutes.
- Once cauliflower is roasting, bring a large stockpot of salted water to a boil. Boil gnocchi according to package directions. Drain.
- Heat a large skillet or Dutch oven with oil (for gnocchi) over medium heat. Add mushrooms and saute until golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes.
- To mushrooms, add shallots, pancetta, and chard stems. Saute for 5 minutes more.
- Stir in flour until no dry spots remain.
- Add stock and chard leaves while whisking. Cover with a lid for a minute to get the leaves started steaming. Then cook for 4 minutes more, until leaves are wilted and stock has cooked down into a thick sauce.
- Remove vegetables / sauce from the heat. Stir in gnocchi and lemon juice. Season with some salt and pepper.
- Serve gnocchi with cauliflower on the side. Top gnocchi with some parmesan cheese, if you’d like. Enjoy!

Awesome simple meal. Used bacon instead of pancetta and I’m really glad I did. Putting this on repeat.
0 HelpfulThis recipe was a little meh for me. But I subbed in kale for the chard and bacon for the pancetta and onions for the shallots since I had those on hand so maybe that was my doing? The roasted cauliflower was amazing though - that was my favorite part.
0 HelpfulNot a big fan of chard, but this dish made it taste great. Really nice combination of flavors, cooksmarts team!!
0 HelpfulMy friend made this for us to eat when he stayed at my house. It was very nice. I think I’ll just go for bacon if I make it again.
