Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 8-ounce package gnocchi
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh basil for garnish optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add the minced garlic and ground beef to the skillet. Cook until the beef is browned and cooked through, breaking it up with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
  4. Stir in the Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Add the diced tomatoes (with juice), gnocchi, and beef broth. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the gnocchi to soften slightly.
  5. Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  7. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil if desired before serving.
