Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion diced
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
- 28 ounces crushed tomatoes canned
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 16 ounces potato gnocchi dried, shelf stable
- ½ cup ricotta cheese
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese shredded

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Break apart the beef in a deep oven safe skillet over medium heat. When the meat is crumbled, add the onion and garlic to the pan and continue cooking until the beef is cooked through. Drain grease from the skillet.
- Stir in the Italian seasoning, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and salt. Cook for 15 minutes over medium-low heat, stirring often.
- Add the uncooked gnocchi to the pot along with the ricotta. Stir to combine the mixture.
- Sprinkle the top with Parmesan cheese and arrange slices of mozzarella over the top.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until the gnocchi is tender.

Notes
- You may use all Italian sausage in place of the beef or a combination of the two, if desired.
- We’re using dried, shelf stable gnocchi. Do not boil before adding to the sauce - it will cook in the oven.
- To make this even simpler, you can swap the seasoning, tomato paste, and crushed tomatoes for a 24 ounce jar of marinara.
