Baked Gnocchi Recipe
Baked Gnocchi - an easy weeknight dinner the whole family will love! This baked gnocchi recipe is simple and SO GOOD!
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons garlic minced
- 1 small yellow onion diced
- 32 ounces gnocchi premade
- 23.5 ounces Primal Kitchen No Dairy Vodka Sauce
- ¼ cup fresh basil leaves chopped
- ½ teaspoon lemon zest finely grated
- 1-2 handfuls fresh spinach leaves optional
- 8 ounces fresh mozzarella
Serving Suggestions:
- parmesan cheese grated
- fresh basil
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat oven to 425℉.
- Sauté: Bring large skillet to medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil; swirl to coat the pan. Add 2 teaspoons garlic and move around pan until fragrant, approx. 30 seconds. Add diced onion and move around pan until it softens a bit, about 1 minute.
- Combine: Add 32 ounces gnocchi, 23.5 ounces Primal Kitchen No Dairy Vodka Sauce, ¼ cup fresh basil leaves, ½ teaspoon lemon zest and 1-2 handfuls fresh spinach leaves (if using). Stir to combine.
- Bake: Top with 8 ounces fresh mozzarella and place an oven-safe lid on top. Place in oven and let cook 20-25 minutes or until the sauce is bubbling, gnocchi is firm but tender and cheese is melted.
- Serve: Remove and let cool slightly. Serve with grated parmesan cheese, more fresh basil - easy grilled bread or homemade whipped ricotta would be amazing too!
Notes
- Gnocchi: feel free to just use 16oz gnocchi .. it will just be a lot saucier (of course you can always use a bit less sauce to account for the reduction in gnocchi) - do what works best for you!
- Dairy-Free: to make this dairy-free use a dairy-free mozzarella and dairy-free parmesan cheese.
- Whipped Ricotta: serving with our whipped ricotta recipe really takes it to the next level!
- Storage: store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
- Meat add-in: you can easily add in some ground Italian sausage or ground beef to this - cook in the skillet (drain any excess grease) and then move on to adding in the gnocchi and sauce in Step 6.
