Easy and so delicious
Aaron Hurst
What a delicious meal! My family couldn’t get enough! I highly recommend this.
Chelsea Mack
I have never had gnocchi before and while some said this was a basic recipe it is really good. I’m all for one pot meals that taste good that my family will eat. Would change anything about the recipe.
Travis Weaver
It was delicious, with a few additions, the second time around. I saute onion, sweet peppers, mushrooms then added Italian seasoned ground turkey and browned. Added the marinara sauce and Italian seasoning. Threw some chopped broccoli in the pot when cooking the gnocchi. Drained and added them to the marinara pan. Then mixed in the full 1 1/2 cup of cheese. Poured it all into the baking dish. Sprinkled with grated Parmesan cheese and baked as directed. Wonderful. Recipes are suggestions to me except when baking. Then I get in trouble when I improvise.

This was a first time for a gnocchi bake. It was easy to make and came out great. It’s hard to mess up.

I made this awhile ago and forgot to review it. I don’t really remember the particulars of how I made it, but i don’t remember making substitutions, and I did use fresh mozzarella. What I do remember is the taste of this was fantastic. My son and I loved this dish.

I found this during the first couple weeks of the pandemic, when i had to buy whatever groceries were available. I ended up with gnocchi and had never had it before. We followed the recipe, but used breakfast sausage abbr added a teaspoon of fennel. It was a huge hit! Well be eating gnocchi (however you say it) many times again.
Donald Peterson
Added yellow and green bell pepper to sausage while cooking.

Quick and easy weekday meal. I follow this recipe to a T, making no changes or substitutions. Something my entire family looks forward to when it is on the menu for the week.
Martin Gilbert
Easy and delicious! My son loves it and will pretty much polish it off in one night.
Ryan Wood
We absolutely loved this. The only thing I did differently was add mushrooms, black olives and pepperoni. I have since been asked if I could make this weekly.

My son wanted to try gnocchi and I found this recipe while searching AR. It had ingredients we like and was super easy to make. Great recipe for a quick dinner, makes enough to feed a family of four and have leftovers. I followed the recipe as is until the end, and then I did broil on high for about five minutes to brown the cheese just a tad. Delicious dish that even a picky water should like.

After making the dish with a few of my modifications, my grandson and wife were in it before I got the camera to snap a picture 🙂
Jessica Howard
It was alright, but super easy to make. I am honestly not crazy about gnocchi, though I tried it to use up some Italian sausage we had on hand. I added probably more sauce and a lot less cheese, plus fresh garlic I cooked with the sausage. My family likes it, all except for our youngest child, who is extremely picky.
Kelli Harris
Very tasty. Added 2 cloves of garlic and some diced onion to the sausage meat, along with Italian seasoning and some freshly cracked pepper. Also added 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese to the meat mixture instead of the mozzarella. Topped with mozzarella prior to baking. Will def make again.
Anne Cameron
Used ground beef because that’s what we had in the house, and some shredded fresh basil, and everything was delicious! Super simple weekday dish with the benefits of leftovers. Even my 18 month old liked it.
John Mann
Good RECIPE. Not sure why that one chick got mad at how easy this recipe was when she has recipes saved on how to make salads…
Anthony Case
There were no leftovers!
Sheila Cervantes
If was pretty good I added more sauce than it called for I would make again
Nicole Kramer
This was quite tasty! I saute 1/2 onion & minced garlic before adding saugage. Also added basil/italian seasoning to the spaghetti sause
Caroline Case
Used a bit extra sauce (600g) and forgot the mozzerella, so i used ementaler. Still so good, there were no leftovers in this house! Thanks All recipes
