A gnocchi pomodori gratin can be by far the most simple recipe ever. You really just need to make a tomato sauce, pour it over the gnocchi already placed in a pan, garnish with grated cheese and then you’re done! Does that sound like too good to be true? I’m going to show you step-by-strep photos and guide you through, how you can make this delicious dish. It’s great, simple and quickly made everyday food, no matter if you are coming home from work being tired and needing to eat something, or if you are having a bunch of kids running around your home and you need to make something for your family that suits all stomachs. This dish is really great and I’d love for you to try it out!

What kind of gnocchi should you use

I am actually using a gnocchi that is not only vegan but also based on potatoes, which also makes this dish entirely gluten free. It’s your personal choice of what gnocchi you want to use. If you even want to make your own, homemade, go ahead! I wasn’t that ambitious this time but I’ll definitely give it a go another time, and then I promise I’ll give you the recipe of that too.

THIS RECIPE IS:

  • Vegan
