GNOCCHI****Baked Gnocchi with Greens

By Unblond1

04/12/14 - This was good and I'd make it again and it's certainly a good way to use up leftover roasted greens, but, it needs a bit of shredded cheese mixed in - parm or Four-cheese blend or even some ricotta. Also, I topped it with panko mixture at the end, which didn't work here. Finally, it would benefit from a bit of pancetta, fried and drained first, if you have the time and can afford the calories.

Ingredients

• 4 ounces gnocchi (This was a bit much, try 3 1/2 next time)
• 1 cup or so of chopped broccoli rabe or kale (Great place to use up the roasted leftovers of either)
• pinch of hot pepper flakes (careful if using already cooked greens)
• 2 tablespoons chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon grated parmesan or pecorino + more for serving
• 1/2 tablespoon olive oil - can't really identify this in the final product, just oil the dish
• 1 grated garlic clove (if there isn't already garlic in the greens)
• salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

Step 1

Toss everything together, add salt and pepper to taste and place in a lightly greased oven-safe baking dish.

Cover with foil and bake at 375-400 until the gnocchi is cooked through, 40 minutes.

Uncover; sprinkle with more cheese and bake for a further 10 minutes or broil until golden.
