Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 medium onion chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 (24 ounce) jar marinara sauce
- 1 pound uncooked potato gnocchi
- 1 handful fresh basil torn
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400F and move the rack to the top third of the oven.
- Add the butter and onion to an oven-proof skillet and sauté over medium heat for 5-7 minutes or until the onion is softened and lightly browned.
- Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Add in the marinara and gnocchi and give it a good stir. Once it starts to bubble a bit, turn the heat off and stir in the basil.
- Top evenly with the mozzarella and transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake, uncovered, for 15 minutes. Broil for a few more minutes to brown the cheese (watch it carefully so it doesn't burn).
- Let it sit for a few minutes prior to serving, then season with salt & pepper if needed and enjoy! It's extra delicious served with some freshly grated parmesan and more fresh basil if you happen to have some left.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Serves 4 as a main course or 6 as a side.
