Recipe FAQs
Do you have to boil gnocchi before baking?
No, you do not need to boil first. Baking them will make them nice and crispy on the outside and they'll still be soft in the inside!
What can I use in place of sausage?
Any kind of smoked or cooked sausage works well in this recipe. You definitely want cooked meat because this recipe cooks pretty quickly.
What kind of parmesan cheese do you recommend?
I recommend using REAL parmesan cheese and freshly grating it. Don't use the powdered version!
What other veggies could I use in this gnocchi bake?
You could try carrots, zucchini, butternut squash, yellow potatoes, asparagus etc. The sky is the limit!
