Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- ½ medium onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning (or to taste)
- 1 (14-ounce) can diced tomatoes with juices
- ⅓ cup chicken or beef broth
- ¾ cup heavy/whipping cream
- 1 pound uncooked potato gnocchi
- ½ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Brown the ground beef and chopped onion in a skillet over medium-high heat for 7–10 minutes, draining excess fat if necessary.
- Stir in the minced garlic and Italian seasoning until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Add the diced tomatoes with juices, broth, cream, and uncooked gnocchi. Stir to combine.
- Once the mixture bubbles, cover the pan, reduce heat, and cook for about 5 minutes.
- Uncover and stir, then cook for a few more minutes until the gnocchi is tender and the sauce has thickened to your liking.
- Stir in the freshly grated parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste before serving.
Notes
- You can use either chicken or beef broth.
- Adding spinach at the end adds freshness and color.
- Substitute cheddar cheese for parmesan for a nostalgic twist.
- Reheat with a splash of cream or broth as sauce thickens in the fridge.
- Not suitable for freezing as texture may change.
