Tuscan Baked Gnocchi

Quick Notes: So, I did originally make this as it’s own meal. I specifically omitted meat cuz I was going for a meatless recipe, but it’s a lot of gnocchi. If you’re going to make this as a main dish I would probably toss some chicken in it. Otherwise, it’s really best as a side unless you really love gnocchi. Pic includes golden tomatoes, only because the store was out of the normal ones. Normal is way better in this recipe.

Ingredients

  • 32 oz gnocchi
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup veggie (or chicken) stock
  • 2 (or 50) cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups halved cherry or grape tomatoes
  • 3 cups chopped spinach
  • a couple of cups of shredded parm (measure with your heart)
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. 
  2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt your butter. 
  3. Toss in your garlic and tomatoes and cook until your tomatoes are blistered and your garlic is fragrant.
  4. Pour in your cream and stock and bring to a ....bubble, not quite a boil.  Boiling is going to make your cream mad.  Cook all this shit together for 2-3 minutes. 
  5. Whisk in about 1/4 cup of parm.  You can definitely do a little more but this isn't supposed to be alfredo so don't get ridiculous. Salt and pepper if you wish. 
  6. 'Dump all your gnocchi in either a 9 x 13 pan, or a big fuckin' casserole dish and pour over your sauce while it's still hot. 
  7. Dump your spinach in there and give everything a good stir.  
  8. Top this biatch with some parm and toss it in the oven for 35 minutes. 
  9. Allow this to cool about ten minutes before serving. 

Perfect as a side to this Stuffed Chicken Caprese!
