Servings: 5 servings
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 cup diced yellow onion
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and black pepper to taste ( I used a 1/2 teaspoon fine kosher salt)
- 2 cloves garlic grated or minced (1/2 teaspoon)
- 24 ounces marinara sauce
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 16 ounces gnocchi
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400° F.
- Add the olive oil to a large skillet and heat it over medium-high heat. Add the onion and ground beef to the skillet. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Crumble and cook until it's browned and cooked through. Add in the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, until fragrant.
- Turn the heat down to medium and pour in the marinara sauce, balsamic vinegar, parsley, and gnocchi. Stir everything together.
- Sprinkle the mozzarella on top and spoon on dollops of ricotta. Place the skillet on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 15 minutes, until it's hot and bubbly. For a browned cheesy top, broil the last 2-3 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve.
Notes
Storage - Leftovers will keep for 3-4 days in an airtight container in the fridge. I don't recommend freezing them.
Reheating - Reheat in the microwave or in a skillet on the stove over medium-low heat. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of water to loosen it.
