Shopping Tips
You can find packages of potato gnocchi in the refrigerated, pasta section of the supermarket. Sometimes it’s in the shelf-stable, dry pasta section. I used Trader Joe’s Gnocchi Italian. Although their pkg. is a 17.6-ounce package, just use 16 ounces. Substitution Tips
You can replace the gnocchi with frozen hash brown potatoes (cubed not shredded). Thaw potatoes first. Coat a nonstick pan with olive oil spray and cook until potatoes are browned. Then add to the remaining ingredients. WW Freestyle SmartPoints 7-Blue
