Fall is a fantastic time of year. Even though we don’t get the drastic and beautiful color-changing leaves that we can sweep into a pile in our lawns here in San Francisco, we still get all the pumpkin-spiced lattes and crisp fall winds that encourage us to cusp that latte tighter in our cold hands. As we welcome this new season and mourn the passing of summertime, pick up a few of the last tomatoes of the season this week from Blue House Farm and try out this simple recipe!

The Mission Community Market is adorned with twinkling lights and the delicious fall veggies are pouring in. Inspired by autumn, this hearty recipe features a Thanksgiving staple, but not in any way you’ve likely seen it before. Ditch the processed marshmallows and welcome in… the sweet potato gnocchi.

The thing I want to mention about this recipe is how easy it is and how delicious the result is. The spices and fresh tomatoes in the sauce elevate this simple recipe into a gourmet dish.
