Tips for making baked gnocchi

  1. Use shop-bought gnocchi. Fresh gnocchi is too tender and is much better served as is with a sauce. Shop-bought gnocchi is firmer and can stand up to the double cooking time.
  2. Boil the gnocchi in plenty of salted water until it floats. Boiling the gnocchi before it bakes means that it is well-cooked and that it doesn’t have to bake for very long.
  3. After combining with the bolognese sauce, top with plenty of mozzarella and place in a hot oven. Bake until golden and bubbling.
  4. Allow the bolognese baked gnocchi to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Making ahead and freezing

  1. Make ahead instructions: The gnocchi can be boiled and combined with the bolognese a day in advance. Keep covered in the fridge before baking. Leftovers can be kept in the fridge for up to 2 days then reheated in the oven until hot.
  2. Freezing instructions: Assemble the baked gnocchi in a foil container. Wrap with two layers of foil then freeze for up to 3 months. Bake from frozen until hot throughout and bubbling.
