Weight Watchers Gnocchi Casserole
Gnocchi with marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese, and vegetables.
Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp Light butter substitute
- 3/4 cup Crushed tomatoes
- 1 small Onion chopped
- 1 medium Bell pepper preferred color, chopped
- 2 Garlic cloves minced
- 24 oz Fat-free marinara sauce
- 16 oz Potato gnocchi not frozen
- 1 1/2 cups Fat-free mozzarella cheese shredded
- to taste Dried or fresh parsley chopped
- to taste Kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F. In a large sauté pan over medium heat, heat the butter substitute with the bell peppers and onions. Saute until softened, then add the garlic and cook for about 1 minute.
- Add the crushed tomatoes to help deglaze the pan (you can add a splash of water, too, if needed). Allow to cook a couple of minutes longer, then add in the gnocchi, parsley, salt, and marinara sauce.
- Cover and simmer for about 5 minutes. Add in about half of the cheese and gently stir until it just barely melts, being careful not to overmix. Transfer to an 8 or 9 inch baking dish and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
- Bake for about 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted on top, the gnocchi is cooked, and the sides are bubbly. Allow to rest for a few minutes before serving.
