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 oz packaged gnocchi premade
- 23.5 oz jar Primal Kitchen No Dairy Vodka Sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves chopped
- optional 1-2 handfuls fresh spinach leaves
- 8 oz fresh mozzarella
- for serving: grated parmesan cheese and additional fresh basil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Bring large skillet to medium-high heat.
- Add olive oil; swirl to coat the pan.
- Add garlic and move around pan until fragrant, approx. 30 seconds.
- Add onion and move around pan until it softens a bit, about 1 minute.
- Add gnocchi, Primal Kitchen No Dairy Vodka Sauce, lemon zest, fresh basil and fresh spinach (if using). Stir to combine.
- Top with 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.
- Remove and let cool slightly.
- Serve with grated parmesan cheese, more fresh basil - grilled bread or 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 this with a little whipped ricotta 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.
