Easy Baked Gnocchi

Ingredienti

• 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)

Preparazione

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 400F and move the rack to the top third of the oven.

2. 2

   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.

3. 3

   Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.

4. 4

   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.

5. 5

   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).

6. 6

   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.
