During any Trader Joe’s trip I’m always scouting out the new items that sound good. While grabbing a bag of their cauliflower gnocchi I noticed their ‘chicken and mushroom Pelmeni’ next to it. I grabbed them to try and ended up using the bag last night for a quick and easy weeknight dinner.
Pelmini’s are a type of Russian dumpling and come in a variety of fillings. These chicken and mushroom ones were really good and something different than your standard pasta! If you can’t find it, you can always sub with your favorite tortellini.

Looks really quick and so easy….I may a splash of red pepper flakes to spice it up a notch.
