[Green Giant's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dino-veggie-tots) frozen product portfolio includes a few options that are made with cauliflower as a key ingredient and the newest addition to this lineup is Cauliflower Gnocchi. While the brand's thick pasta is authentically made in Italy, it reinvents the classic food with vegetables as the first ingredient—while the original Cauliflower Gnocchi is made with 40% cauliflower, the Cauliflower & Spinach variety consists of a 40% blend of cauliflower and spinach.

The [free-from frozen pasta](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highprotein-pasta) product avoids the use of artificial colors, flavors and preservatives, and offers a nourishing way to add interest to meals. Green Giant suggests using these vegetable-packed gnocchi products to make recipes like Cauliflower Spinach Gnocchi with Mushroom Bolognese or Cauliflower Gnocchi with Pancetta and Peas.
