baked pumpkin gnocchi

It's still pumpkin season! At least at Trader Joe's... so run and get yourself some of these pumpkin gnocchi for a sweet and savory dinner. I love baked gnocchi for a really easy dinner with little clean up. Just add gnocchi to a casserole dish with marinara sauce, veggies, and cheese and bake in the oven for 50ish minutes!


Hope you love it xo
