Gnocchi with Chorizo and Fiddleheads

I've seen a ton of recipes on how to make gluten-free gnocchi, but I don't have the time, patience or skills. So I cheated this time, and I'm using fresh regular gnocchi. I can't help it. Even if I get glutened, I just want some gnocchi. But don't you worry; like I said, there are a ton of recipes and you can buy it pre-made.

Everything else though is by the book. I went to a Farmer's Market yesterday morning and bought some gluten-free chorizo sausage that I am REALLY excited about. Don't even get me started on all the other types of sausage I bought. I'm just...there are so many different filling options! Mind blown/bank emptied.

Fiddleheads are going out of season, according to the lady at the market, and I trust her because people were flocking to her stall and snapping up these little ferns. I've never had fiddleheads before tonight, but I've *almost* bought them like 10 times. I usually wuss out but I was feeling unusually brave this weekend.



I have to say, thank God. Another delicious meal brought to you courtesy of Sarah's somewhat gluten-free kitchen.
