Three Cheese Baked Gnocchi with Spinach

• Total Time: 40 minutes

• Yield: 5–6 servings

Ingredients

Simple Delicious Tomato Sauce:

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• quarter of an onion, minced

• 1 large clove garlic, minced or thinly sliced

• 12 ounces DeLallo Passata Tomato Purée

• 1/2 cup broth or water

• torn basil

• 1/4 cup mascarpone cheese

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Gnocchi: 

• one 16-ounce package DeLallo Potato Gnocchi (I used shelf-stable gnocchi but frozen would also work)

• a handful of baby spinach

• 8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese slices

• Parmesan cheese

Instructions

1. Make the sauce: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Heat the olive oil over medium low heat. Add the onion and garlic; sauté until translucent and fragrant. Add passata and water or broth; bring to a low simmer. Add torn basil, mascarpone, and salt. YUM.

2. Bake it up: Add gnocchi and spinach. Stir to coat evenly with sauce. Top with mozzarella slices and a sprinkle of Parmesan. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until gooey and light golden brown on top. Serve with more basil. THE END. That’s it. You’re in heaven.
