    Are these the frozen ones? Do you thaw them first? I bought these last week and have been looking for something to do with them. Thanks for the recipe!!

      I did not thaw them first. I put them right into the skillet with non stick cooking spray and sauté them until they are nice and brown.

    Just whipped this up tonight and it was a crowd pleaser! We did add shrimp and scallops to make a bit heavier. One quick q: since the cauliflower gnocchi is so new it isn’t coming up on WW. How did you come up with the points?

    This is so good!! 1 cup and I was really full. I did add shrimp and a little more milk to cover the extra ingredients, but did everything else as instructed. Also, I really don’t care for cauliflower substitutes, but I loved these. I couldn’t taste the cauliflower at all cooking them this way. Delicious!!
