cheesy gnocchi bake

An indulgent creamy, cheesy baked gnocchi with tender asparagus. This one pan no boil gnocchi recipe could not be easier – just dump the ingredients into a casserole dish and bake it in the oven! This vegetarian bake can fit lots of asparagus, with room for extra veggies if you wish!

Asparagus Gnocchi Bake (One Pan!)

oz gnocchi

asparagus

tsp dried provencal herbs

tarragon

tbsp garlic (3-4 cloves)

vegetable broth

heavy (double) cream

mozzarella (or a cheese mix) (for topping)

tsp truffle oil

Brush or spray a casserole dish with oil. Add the gnocchi, asparagus, garlic, provencal herbs, tarragon and cheddar cheese. Mix to get the ingredients combined.

Pour over the cream and vegetable broth, mix again.

Cover and bake in the oven for 20-30 minutes, until the gnocchi has plumped out and the asparagus is softened. Stir through and add the truffle oil, if using. (This will be closer to 20 minutes if you&#39;re using a metal pan, which will conduct the heat more quickly, or a wider pan which has the gnocchi in a thinner layer. If you&#39;re using a heavier casserole dish, or one which layers the gnocchi more deeply, it will take closer to 30 minutes.)

Sprinkle the mozzarella over the top and place in the oven, uncovered, for an extra 10 minutes or until the top is crisped up to your liking.

Allow to stand for 5-10 minutes, then serve.

This Cheesy Gnocchi Bake couldn&#39;t be any easier! Made with a simple but flavorful tomato and bacon sauce and topped with melty mozzarella cheese. It&#39;s a satisfying and scrumptious meal fit for a busy weeknight or entertaining guests.

parsley (chopped)

Bake the gnocchi: Add a splash of the pasta cooking water to the skillet with the gnocchi and sauce. Mix everything together well, top with mozzarella cheese, and bake for 10 minutes. Garnish with parsley and serve.

Oh my goodness. This is my favorite Jo Cooks recipe so far. It’s easy and oh so delicious! I couldn’t eat this every week! It’s a 10!!! 

I also want to note that I like how you can change the number of servings and the recipe does the ingredients adjustment for you so you can’t miss calculated. Thank you so much!

Delicious! I had a few things to use up, so threw in 1/2 a shredded chicken breast, 1/2 a red capsicum (bell pepper), 1/2 an onion and about 1/2 a cup of frozen peas. I also added some chilli flakes &amp; Italian herbs. Next time I would leave out the chicken as I didn’t love the texture, but that’s totally my doing! 
Great recipe as is, but also a fabulous base to add from. Thanks from Down Under 🇦🇺

Delicious! The whole family loved it. Will be making this again. Added shredded chicken in before baking.

Amazing! I need to double this for next time. Everyone wanted 2nds!

Obsessed with this recipe! I've made it half a dozen times and my friends/family are always stoked whenever I'm making it. Agreed with the author that smoked paprika is necessary - it takes the dish from good to great. I add a bit more paprika and quite a bit more salt, but the fundamentals are all great - just tweak whatever suits you. I make it vegetarian by adding more salted butter to replace the salt and fat from the bacon. 

Also a tip - frying your gnocchi in butter makes them crispy and so much less stodgy than boiling them! It's up to your preference ofc but I love them done this way. 

Thank you for such a fab recipe!!

This was super easy to make and tasted phenomenal! I sprinkled some grated pecorino romano and grana padano cheeses on top of the mozzarella before baking, and was really happy with the extra nuttiness added.

So I've been making this recipe exactly as written for well over a year now and anyone who is debating on trying it, lemme tell you, DOUBLE ITTTTTT!!!!!!!! Not because it doesn't make enough but because it's just THAT FREAKING GOOD! This is my favorite dinner of all time and it's so easy on top of that. This is the only recipe that I've never tweaked in the slightest because it doesn't need a damn thing changed. 1000/5 stars

Oh my GOD this is amazing! Made it for the first time tonight, paired it with pistou soup (a good match). I left out the bacon and used Beyond Beefless Ground, also half a head of cauliflower I had left over, and some bell pepper and grated carrot. For cheese, parmesan, mozzarella, and Mexican cotija. This is going on my "tried and true" list!

This is a great recipe! The first time I added peas and kale, the second time spinach and cauliflower. I searched high and low for smoked paprika and I'm so glad I did, it really adds a nice kick to the flavour. The only difference when I make it is that after I cook the bacon I remove it and add it back in right before it goes in the oven so it stays really crispy.

I  have always wanted to try gnocchi and this recipe was the best experience to start with. So much flavor packed in. Will be making this again for sure!!

My son chose your recipe to make for his homeschool cooking class. We have never had gnocchi so it was a lot of fun. Man was is good! I posted in a video on my youtube and left the link to your recipe with credits. Great recipe!

I made this and both my husband and I loved it.  It was so easy to make and the flavor and creamy texture were so delicious.  I will definitely be making it again.

Sometimes I'm too tired to make a time-consuming meal, but I often feel the 'easy' recipes pale and the family doesn't eat them as well.  This recipe was so quick and easy, but still satisfying.  Even my pickiest child ate it!  I made a salad while the gnocchi was in the oven and warmed a baguette.  Easy, warm, delicious meal.  I need more of these in my life
BTW-I used an 8x8 baking dish :)
