Baked Gnocchi
This Baked Gnocchi is one of my go-to, seriously easy dinners I turn to when I'm low on prep time. It's a deliciously fresh tasting dinner made with a handful of simple ingredients.
Ingredients
- Salt
- Water
- Heavy cream
- Mozzarella cheese
- Half
- Cream
- Tomatoes
- Cooking spray
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a medium casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- Pour 1 cup of the sauce into baking dish and tilt dish to spread. Drizzle in 3 Tbsp heavy cream and stir (it doesn't need to be fully incorporated). Add half the tomatoes.
- Bring a large pot of unsalted water to a boil. Cook gnocchi about 1/3 shy of the time listed on package (they continue to cook in the oven).
- Drain gnocchi well then immediately transfer to baking dish and spread out. Sprinkle in remaining tomatoes, then pour remaining 1 cups sauce evenly over top*.
- Top with mozzarella cheese.
- Bake in preheated oven until sauce is bubbling, about 10 – 12 minutes. If you'd prefer cheese browned a bit then broil closer to broiler element during the last 2 – 4 minutes of that cook time.
- Garnish with basil and serve warm.
