Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh gnocchi
- 1 ½ cups broccoli florets
- 1 cup chicken stock
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes optional
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ⅓ cup cream cheese diced
- 1 ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Fresh chopped parsley for garnish optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Add the gnocchi, broccoli, stock, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper to an oven-proof large skillet and place over medium heat.
- Cover the pan with a lid and bring it to a simmer, cook for 3 minutes or until the gnocchi is almost done and the broccoli is a vibrant green.
- Add the cream cheese and half the mozzarella cheese and stir to incorporate.
- Remove from heat and top with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
- Add the skillet to the oven and bake for 10 minutes or until bubbly and the cheese is lightly browned. Garnish with the optional parsley.
Notes
- Frozen gnocchi can be substituted for fresh.
- Play with your cheeses to find one that you like!
- This can be made if you do not have an oven safe skillet, see my tips above.
- Red pepper flakes are optional, if you don't like a little kick you can leave them out.
- Make sure you are removing the gnocchi from the heat when they are almost done but not fully done yet. That way when you are baking them they will finish cooking.
