Cheesy Baked Gnocchi

Gnocchi is something we have always heard about, but haven’t really added to our menus until recently, thanks to Rana Meals Solutions Potato Gnocchi (#2754). It is fantastic in simple pesto sauce, added to soups, and even as the base of homemade mac and cheese. But, as with most pasta, you can’t go wrong with it smothered in tomato sauce! Especially with Chef Shamy Garlic Butter (#8124) involved.

Enjoy fluffy gnocchi baked in a simple creamy tomato herb sauce, then topped off with a delicious layer of melted mozzarella. Complete the meal with a simple green salad topped with Rosie’s Ranch Dressing (#1032) and a slice of New York Bakery Garlic Toast (#2049).

How long will leftovers stay good?

With gnocchi, it is best to use any leftovers up within 2 days. Otherwise, it may become soggy. Along with that, we don’t recommend refreezing it. But, you likely won’t run into this issue- gnocchi always gets gobbled up in our homes!
