Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 2 cups gnocchi fresh, frozen, or store bought are all fine
  • 1 ½ cups roasted tomato sauce
  • 8-10 oz fresh mozzarella
  • 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 large pinch sea salt or kosher salt
  • Basil to garnish

Instructions

  1. Boil the gnocchi according to package instructions if using store bought or until they float if using homemade. 

  2. Warm the sauce in a saucepan or microwave and combine with cooked gnocchi.  

  3. Set the oven to broil and grease individual baking crocks or one large baking dish and spoon in the gnocchi.

  4. Tear fresh mozzarella and top the gnocchi with it. Then top with the parmesan cheese as well.

  5. Broil the baked gnocchi for 4-5 minutes until the cheese is browned and bubbly. Every oven is going to be a little bit different here, so I recommend using your oven light and watching these like a hawk while they broil.
  6. Remove the gnocchi from the oven once the cheese is golden and let the baking dishes cool slightly.
  7. Finish each dish with a sprinkling of sea salt and some fresh torn basil before serving - it takes everything to a whole new level.
