  • ½onion, diced
  • salt and pepper
  • 1package potato gnocchi
  • 2 cupstomato sauce, or crushed tomatoes
  • 1 cupgrated mozzarella cheese

  • fresh basil or parsley for garnish, if desired

Directions

  1. 1

    Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees F.  Place an oven safe pan over medium heat and add olive oil, zucchini, onion and a pinch of salt and pepper.  Cook until vegetables are beginning to soften, 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add gnocchi to the pan, mix until combined and cook until gnocchi is starting to brown, 3 minutes.  Remove from the heat and add tomato sauce and mix again until everything is combined.  Top with grated cheese and then drop the ricotta cheese in spoonfuls on top.  Place in the oven and bake until bubbly and cheese is melted, 10-15 minutes.  I like to turn it to broil for a minute at the end to brown the cheese a little bit.
