Never underestimate the versatility of store-bought gnocchi. This recipe will make you fall in love with the potato-based pasta, prepared like a dish of cauliflower au gratin.

To start with, we make a béchamel sauce, then add cauliflower and zucchini (frozen cauliflower works beautifully here, especially when the price of fresh cauliflower is sky-high). The crowning glory is our crunchy dried blueberry topping, adding a soupçon of natural sweetness.
