- Combine pork mixture and gnocchi in a bowl. Stir gently to combine, then transfer mixture to the prepared baking dish. Top with torn fresh mozzarella and a generous shower of freshly ground black pepper.

Notes
- * You can customize this recipe according to your family/guest's preferences. If they are meatlovers, go with more of the pork.** prepackaged gnocchi is available at most larger grocers or online. You'll find it in the pasta section or sometimes in the Italian section. I really like DeLallo gnocchialthough the Kroger brand is also delicious.*** I use the small balls of mozzarella. I love the kind that comes in oil and herbs at Costco.
