One Pan Cheesy Baked Gnocchi

I just love one pan meals. My husband will tell you right away that doing dishes is my least favorite chore in the world even though I am guilty of dirtying tons of them in recipe testing. So making a one pan pasta recipe for dinner is basically my favorite since, um, it’s pasta and also much less clean up. The fact that it is a one pan cheesy baked gnocchi recipe makes me doubly happy because to me there is nothing like pillowy gnocchi. So in short, this was a dream dinner and so easy to make!

I started with sautéing lots of hearty veggies. There was cubed up butternut squash, sliced mushrooms, onion, garlic and lots of sage for fantastic flavor.
After that, I just added in tomato paste, red wine, canned tomato sauce, milk and chicken stock. It was really a simple and quick sauce! I let it simmer for just a few minutes.
Finally, I added in lots of sweet potato gnocchi, parmesan and freshly grated smoked gouda cheese. Oh my word, the smoked gouda really made this dish. So did the sweet potato gnocchi. All of those flavors mixed with the spices I added really made it cozy and comforting.
When that one pan cheesy baked gnocchi came out of the oven, oh my gosh it was a melty, fragrant thing of pure beauty. Just look at all of that cheesy goodness! I just served it right from the pan.

This was truly everything I could want in a dinner. Like I said, those spices, the gnocchi and smoked cheese really made it so cozy and satisfying. It was still leaner and nutritious and vegetarian though. Hope you all love it too! xoxo

Sprinkle the extra sage on top and serve immediately with crusty bread!
