Baked Gnocchi with Broccoli

cheesy Baked Gnocchi with broccoli in a cast iron skillet
  • Serves:  6
  • Prep Time:  15 min
  • Cook Time:  30 min

Ingredients

  • 3 cups broccoli florets
  • 16 ounces gnocchi
  • 1 ½ cup chicken or vegetable stock
  • 4 ounces cream cheese
  • ¾ teaspoon sea salt, plus more to taste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¾ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes, (optional)

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 400° F with a rack in the center position.

  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the broccoli and cook for 2 minutes. Add the gnocchi, bring the water back to a full boil and cook for 1 minute longer or until al dente. Drain.

  3. Add the broth to a large ovenproof skillet set over medium high heat. When the broth begins to simmer, add the cream cheese and cook, stirring until it’s mostly combined. Stir in the salt, garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Add 1 cup of the mozzarella and stir until the cheese has melted.

  4. Stir in the broccoli and gnocchi. Top with remaining 1 cup mozzarella and bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbly. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes (if using).
