I'm reminiscing about this meal when I still had an oven. We had it 2 weeks ago but I didn't get chance to post it and share. It's a meal you can put together using pantry items.
Gnocchi is certainly a great pantry item to have on hand. So many things you can do with it from soup to serving with pasta sauce to baking. Yes, baking. I'd never thought to bake it until I read a recipe from Joanne at Eats Well with Others.
If you have a large sheet pan with tall sides this will work a charm.
Joanne didn't add chicken but I did. Cause I love chicken :-)
Here is the end result with leftovers tossed in a casserole dish with a cover. Perfect for reheating the next evening, or for lunch.

You have a lot of reservations about this recipe -- maybe it would be better to find another one? I agree that gnocchi are a good pantry staple.

Mae, I posted this because I learned what I’d like to change out from the original recipe. I always learn something with a new recipe 😄I would certainly have it again by halving the tomatoes.
DeleteI've learned the same thing about adding small tomatoes to sheet pan suppers -- halving them is better. I have some gnocchi in the freezer -- and chicken. I may *have* to add this to next week's meal plan.
ReplyDeleteBFR, I learned the hard way! I frequently bake chicken thighs with halved cherry tomatoes & that’s a good meal.
DeleteHate having those whole tomatoes pop when eating!
ReplyDeleteFor some reason, probably because we have never had a good one, neither of us like gnocchi.
Although recently I did see someone make it on a TV show and it did look good. I even mentioned it to John, who made a face!
Jackie, we have had good luck with the gnocchi we have purchased, maybe I’ve been lucky!
DeleteGnocchi is a favorite around here (we often make our own when we have leftover mashed potatoes) and I will have to give this a try, thanks Tina.
ReplyDeleteMelynda, homemade is best!
DeleteI love gnocchi though I've never thought of baking it! I will definitely have to try it. I can see where halving the cherry tomatoes. I love roasted tomatoes but agree they're such a pain to eat whole. I'll definitely give that a try! When I'm feeling really indulgent I'll make gnocchi and sprinkle it with gorgonza and a balsamic reduction glaze. This is probably way healthier.
ReplyDeleteKatherine, it was good but I think I like your version better. Gorgonzola and balsamic sound amazing.
DeleteRoasted cherry tomatoes are one of my favourite things to eat, and i do like it when one pops in your mouth, unless it is too hot of course.
ReplyDeleteI find gnocchi a little stodgy. Maybe I just haven't had really good gnocchi yet!
I know you have reservations but it looks tasty!
