Cheesy Gnocchi and Meatball Skillet
There’s so many ways to prepare gnocchi. My favorite ways is this baked gnocchi and meatball skillet!
Gnocchi is one of my favorite pastas, that isn’t technically a pasta. And when it comes to weeknight meals, its gotta be easy to prep.
Throwing in some gnocchi, marinara, frozen meatballs and a little mozzarella cheese in a skillet, doesn’t get much easier than that!
I like to top it off with some fresh mozzarella balls as well. I love the texture they have and I’m kind of a cheese nut so I can’t get enough of it.
I’m constantly making batches of marinara in my house so I always have vacuum sealed back of sauce in the freezer. This is a great way to get those used up.
If you’re looking for other easy Italian dishes try this Stromboli recipe. This is an easy way to feed the family on a busy weeknight too!
