Frozen spinach and gnocchi are transformed into an easy, elegant 5-ingredient vegetarian dinner.
Ingredients
1 (20 oz) pkg frozen potato gnocchi
1 (10 oz) pkg frozen chopped spinach, thawed
1 cup half & half
4 oz reduced-fat cream cheese, cut up and room temperature
1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
Steps
Preheat oven to 400°F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil on high. Add the gnocchi and cook according to package directions. Add the spinach 1 min. before gnocchi is done cooking, then drain well together.
Transfer gnocchi and spinach mixture to an 8x8-inch baking dish. Pour half & half on top. Season with salt and pepper. Stir together, then spread in an even layer. Dot with the cream cheese. Top with the mozzarella.
Bake 18–20 min., until mozzarella is melty and bubbly. Season with pepper to taste.
Tips
For extra color, broil briefly until cheese on top browns.
