Easy Baked Gnocchi recipe. Made with only 3 ingredients, this simple pantry essential dinner idea is perfect for a quick weeknight meal.
I think this recipe might be one that I have been making the most often in the past few months.
First of all, it only uses 3 ingredients, which I almost always have available in my house. Second, it is ready in 35 minutes with very minimal effort. And finally, it is so dang good!
What you need to make Easy Baked Gnocchi
Seriously so so easy. All you need to make this Easy Baked Gnocchi is:
- packaged gnocchi
- pasta sauce
- mozzarella cheese
That’s it!
This is definitely a weeknight meal that I can get behind.
If you don’t have mozzarella cheese, switch it up! I have tried this recipe with many different cheese blends, and they all turn out so good.
This recipe is also so versatile, you can add whatever you want into it. Have some bacon bits? Throw those in! Maybe some leftover turkey? Why not! Try adding that too!
If you are looking for another 3 ingredient gnocchi recipe, might I suggest my 3 Ingredient Pesto Gnocchi. Whenever I have spinach, I will make that gnocchi. But if I don’t have many ingredients in the fridge at all, you can find me making this super simple recipe.
Try it out and let me know how it goes! I always love seeing your photos. Post a photo on Instagram and tag #atasteofmadess. I’d love to see your creations!

Same here! I’m probably going to make this during the week again
This is so much easier (and faster) to make than lasagne or baked ziti. I take GF gnocchi and boil them up in 2 minutes. The cooking time is the longest part of it.
SO much faster!! It is a favourite around here 🙂
What a great idea for a weeknight dinner. This will go great with a simple salad.
Yes those pair so good 🙂
