6 min read

This campervan recipe of chorizo & mozzarella gnocchi cooked in the RidgeMonkey is ideal for vanlife. A quick one pan meal with 10 ingredients, perfect for a mid week treat in the van. If you want to keep it veggie – for meat free Monday perhaps, add some smoked paprika for some smokiness and do away with the chorizo.

For now though make do with making this Ridgemonkey Chorizo and mozzarella goncchi yourself. You could even cook the gnocchi in the pan first to crisp it up before adding the tomatoes & cheese. Delicious!
