  • Total Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) store-bought or homemade gnocchi
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup ricotta cheese
  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
  • ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Fresh basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Toss gnocchi with olive oil, garlic, and spinach in a greased baking dish.
  2. Simmer marinara sauce with Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper for 5 minutes.
  3. Pour sauce over gnocchi mixture, then dollop with ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan.
  4. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden and bubbly. Rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh gnocchi for best texture, or thaw frozen gnocchi before baking.
  • Add heavy cream to marinara for extra creaminess.
  • Broil for 2-3 minutes for a crispier top.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
