Instructions
Cook calamari in oil in a sauté pan over high heat until rings curl and tentacles are firm; transfer to a plate. Reduce heat to medium-high.
Add ‘nduja to pan; sauté until fragrant, 2 minutes, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Add cocktail tomatoes and garlic; cook until tomatoes begin to break down, stirring often, 3 minutes.
Stir in canned tomatoes and basil, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium; simmer sauce 3 minutes. Stir calamari and any accumulated juices into sauce mixture.
Cook cauliflower in a pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, 7 minutes, adding gnocchi in the last 2 minutes of cooking; drain.
Serve calamari mixture over cauliflower-gnocchi mixture, and top with Parmesan and parsley.
‘Nduja [in-DOOJ-ah] is a spicy, spreadable pork salumi that hails from southern Italy.
So the gnocchi is al dente, add it to the pot in the last two minutes of boiling the cauliflower.
