Cheesy Gnocchi Sausage Bake
Ingredients
  • salt as needed
  • 1 (18 ounce) package frozen or fresh gnocchi
  • 1 pound bulk Italian sausage
  • 1 (14 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, or 175 degrees Celsius, for optimal cooking results.
2
Next, fill a large container with salted water and bring it to a rolling boil. Submerge the gnocchi and cook until they are tender, taking anywhere from 5 to 8 minutes.
3
Simultaneously, heat a skillet over medium-high heat and crumble the sausage into it. Cook and stir constantly until the sausage is evenly browned, allowing excess grease to drain off. Stir in spaghetti sauce and remove from heat.
4
Combine the cooked gnocchi with the sausage mixture, reserving half of the mozzarella cheese for later. Transfer this combination to a casserole dish.
5
Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese on top of the gnocchi mixture, covering it evenly.
6
Bake the dish in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbly.
