Pizza Gnocchi Bake
This Pizza Gnocchi Bake is saucy, hot, cheesy, and well tastes just like pepperoni pizza.
Servings 6 people
Ingredients
- 2 packs gnocchi
- 4 oz pancetta pre-cut in cubes
- 1 cup pepperoni stick, cut in small cubes
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 tsp dried basil
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 3 tbsp fresh basil chopped
- 1 1/4 cup broth chicken or vegetable
- 28 oz can crushed tomatoes
- 3/4 lb mozzarella can be adjusted more or less
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F
- In an oven safe pan over medium - low heat add the pancetta and cook halfway, approx 3-4 minutes, until fat has begun to render. Add the cubbed pepperoni and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
- Add garlic, and dried spices and cook for another 2-3 minutes until garlic is soft and fragrant.
- Add in broth, sauce, fresh basil and uncooked gnocchi. Make sure the gnocchi is submerged in the sauce (some pieces will be popping out depending on size of pan and that is okay). * if transferring to an oven safe casserole dish now it the time to do it.
- Top with cheese and bake for 30 minutes until cheese is bubbly and beginning to brown.
Notes
- As stated in the post this recipe serves 5-6 people however can easily be cut in half.
