Baked Gnocchi Bolognese Skillet

4.86 from 7 votes

I enjoyed this recipe very much - passed some on to family and they agreed as well. I loved that it was quick and easy with just a few ingredients, but delicious flavorful and relatively healthy too. You'll want a skillet that can go from the stovetop to the oven for this recipe.

Equipment

Ingredients

3 cups favorite spaghetti sauce with meat (I used marinara sauce)
1 package (16-17 ounces) gnocchi (potato dumplings)
2 cups fresh baby spinach
Dried seasonings to taste, I added a few pinches of dried oregano, garlic powder and dried red pepper flakes.
1 cup reduced-fat Italian blend shredded cheese (with mozzarella)
Pinch or two of dried basil (optional)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425F degrees. (The skillet goes from stovetop to oven.)
Add the sauce to an ovenproof skillet and cook over medium heat until it's warmed through and begins to bubble gently.
Stir in the gnocchi, spinach and any dried seasonings you like. (I added a little bit of dried oregano, garlic powder and red pepper flakes.)
Top with shredded cheese and a sprinkling of dried basil.
Place in oven and bake until cheese on top is browned, about 30 minutes.

You could definitely bulk this up with more spinach and I think chopped mushrooms and zucchini would also be good too.
