Baked Feta Gnocchi

As you probably know by now, I LOVE gnocchi! Gnocchi is an Italian dumpling, typically made of flour, egg, salt, and potato. My favorite way to eat gnocchi is actually to bake it on a baking sheet so it gets nice and crispy, as I do in my Sheet-Pan Gnocchi with Pumpkin Pasta Sauce, Lemon Parmesan Baked Gnocchi With Zucchini and Chickpeas, and Pesto Baked Gnocchi.

Today, I’m sharing another way to enjoy gnocchi which still provides a very easy-to-make dinner! Instead of baking the gnocchi on a baking sheet, you’ll bake the gnocchi in a baking dish and cover it in a beautiful Roasted Red Pepper and Feta Sauce.

The gnocchi cooks just by being immersed in the sauce – no need to boil the gnocchi first!
