BAKED GNOCCHI WITH CHICKEN

Steps:

• Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. Heat the olive oil in a deep ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate and wipe out the skillet.
• Melt the butter in the skillet over medium heat; add the flour and cook, whisking, 3 minutes. Whisk in the milk and chicken broth until smooth; simmer, whisking constantly, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Whisk in 1/2 teaspoon salt and the nutmeg.
• Add the chicken, mushrooms, gnocchi and spinach to the sauce and stir until coated and the spinach wilts. Sprinkle with the parmesan, transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until bubbling, about 20 minutes. Turn on the broiler; broil until lightly browned on top, about 3 more minutes.

GNOCCHI BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add gnocchi, and cook until tender, 5 to 8 minutes.
• Meanwhile, crumble the sausage into a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir until evenly browned. Drain grease, and stir in the spaghetti sauce. Remove from heat, and carefully mix in the cooked gnocchi and half of the mozzarella cheese. Transfer to a casserole dish. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
• Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbly.

BAKED GNOCCHI

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook gnocchi in the boiling water until they float to the top, about 3 minutes. Drain.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Spread 1/2 of the pasta sauce on the bottom of a 5-inch round casserole dish. Layer with gnocchi and spread the remaining pasta sauce on top. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and bubbling, about 25 minutes.

BAKED GNOCCHI

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a large pot and add enough water to cover. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until tender, about 30 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
• When potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel and pass through a ricer or food mill, discarding peels. Spread mashed potatoes out on a large baking sheet and season with salt; let cool.
• Add egg to cooled potatoes and sprinkle with 3/4 cup flour. Gather mixture together and turn out onto work surface; knead, adding more flour as necessary to prevent sticking, until dough comes together. Do not knead too much or add too much flour, as gnocchi will become heavy.
• Cut dough into three equal pieces. Lightly flour work surface and hands. Roll each piece into a 1/2-inch-thick rope; cut each rope into 1/2-inch pieces. Roll each piece lightly in the palms of your hands. Holding a fork with one hand at a 45-degree angle, use your thumb to press lightly on one piece of dough, starting high on the inside tines of the fork. Roll dough down the whole length of the tines to create ridged gnocchi with an indentation where your thumb was. Repeat process with remaining pieces of dough. Dust gnocchi with flour and place on a large baking sheet.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add gnocchi to boiling water, cooking in batches if necessary. Once gnocchi rise to the surface, continue cooking about 2 minutes more. Drain.
• Transfer gnocchi to a small baking dish and add marinara sauce; sprinkle with cheeses. Transfer baking dish to oven; bake until warmed through, about 6 minutes. Serve.

CRISP GNOCCHI WITH BRUSSELS SPROUTS AND BROWN BUTTER

Steps:

• Trim and halve the brussels sprouts. Using a vegetable peeler, peel thick strips of lemon zest, then coarsely chop. (You should have about 2 teaspoons chopped zest.)
• In a large (preferably 12-inch) skillet, heat 3 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high. Add the brussels sprouts, season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper, then arrange the brussels sprouts in an even layer, cut-side down. Scatter the lemon zest over the top and cook, undisturbed, until the brussels sprouts are well browned underneath, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the red-pepper flakes, stir and cook until the brussels sprouts are crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl.
• In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high. Break up any gnocchi that are stuck together, add them to the pan and cook, covered and undisturbed, until golden brown on one side, 2 to 4 minutes. Add the butter and honey, season with salt and a generous amount of black pepper, and cook, stirring, until the butter is golden, nutty smelling and foaming, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the brussels sprouts until warmed through. Serve with grated Parmesan.

BAKED GNOCCHI WITH CHEESE

Steps:

• Heat cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until just simmering. Add two-thirds of the cheese; stir until melted. Stir in nutmeg and the pepper. Remove from heat; cover to keep warm.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Butter an 8-inch square baking dish; set aside. Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add the salt. Add half the gnocchi; when they rise to the top (after about 2 minutes), continue to cook until tender, about 15 seconds more. Transfer gnocchi with a slotted spoon to buttered dish. Repeat process with remaining gnocchi.
• Pour cheese sauce over gnocchi, and gently toss. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Bake gnocchi until golden brown, about 25 minutes
