Steps:
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo, scallions, garlic and orange, red and yellow peppers and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chorizo is browned and has turned the oil red, 6 to 8 minutes.
- Add the tomato paste, Cajun seasoning, salt and pepper, then stir and cook for 1 minute more. Stir in the chicken broth, heavy cream and Worcestershire sauce. Next, add the gnocchi and bring to a simmer. Simmer the mixture until the gnocchi has softened and cooked, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the Parmesan and sprinkle with basil leaves to serve.
SUPER SUMMERY CORN GNOCCHI
Sweet summer produce is the star of this dish, thanks to the creamy corn sauce and herby Fresno topping. We opted to grill the corn and chiles for a touch of smokiness; that also tames the heat of the chiles a bit as opposed to using them raw. Serve with pan-seared store-bought gnocchi for an easy, full-flavored vegetarian meal.

Steps:
- Preheat a grill for cooking at medium heat and lightly oil the grill grates. Grill the corn and chiles, turning every few minutes, until the corn is tender and browned in spots and the chiles are nicely charred, about 8 minutes for the corn and about 4 minutes for the chiles. Transfer to a cutting board and let cool slightly.
- When they are cool enough to handle, stem and deseed the chiles (keep some of the seeds if you prefer a spicier dish). Finely chop the chiles and transfer to a medium bowl. Using a sharp chef's knife, cut the kernels off the corn cobs. Using the back of the knife, scrape along the cobs to release the starchy, milky liquid and any remaining kernels. Using a slotted spoon, transfer half the kernels to the same bowl as the chiles and set aside; keep the remaining half of the kernels and the corn "milk" separate. Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
- Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the leeks, a pinch of salt and a couple grinds of pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic, turmeric and coriander and cook until the garlic is tender and the spices are lightly toasted, 1 to 2 minutes more. Stir in the reserved corn kernels and corn "milk" and cook until warmed through. Stir in the broth, half-and-half and 1/2 teaspoon of salt, bring the mixture to a simmer and then remove from the heat.
- Use an immersion blender to puree the corn mixture into a very smooth and creamy sauce. Alternatively, transfer to a blender and blend on high speed until very smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Keep the corn sauce warm in the saucepan over low heat.
- When the water boils, salt it and cook the gnocchi according to the package directions. Drain well. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place half the gnocchi in the skillet and cook, undisturbed, until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Use a spatula to flip the gnocchi and continue to cook until golden brown and crisp, about 2 minutes more. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining gnocchi.
- Just before serving, stir the basil, parsley, vinegar and remaining 1 tablespoon oil into the reserved corn and chile mixture until combined. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Spoon the corn sauce into 4 shallow dinner bowls and place the crispy gnocchi on top. Garnish with the corn and chile salad.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a dutch oven or other large wide pot over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms, season with salt and cook, stirring, until tender and lightly browned at the edges, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the corn, season with salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in the white and light green scallion parts, season with salt and pepper and keep warm over low heat.
- Add the gnocchi to the boiling water and cook as the label directs. Reserve 1 1/4 cups cooking water, then drain. Add 1 cup cooking water and the butter to the pot with the cooked vegetables. Increase the heat to medium and cook, stirring and scraping up the bottom of the pot, until the butter melts and a light brown sauce forms, about 30 seconds.
- Add the gnocchi to the pot with the vegetables and stir to coat, adding more cooking water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if it seems dry. Stir in the Parmesan and season with salt and pepper.
- Divide the gnocchi among shallow bowls. Top with more Parmesan and the dark green scallion parts.
