Ingredients
  

For the Gnocchi Dish
  • 1 pound Ground Beef Can substitute with ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option.
  • 1 pound Gnocchi Use fresh or shelf-stable gnocchi.
  • 1 medium Onion Yellow or white onion works best.
  • 2 cloves Garlic Minced; garlic powder can substitute if fresh is unavailable.
  • 1 tablespoon Italian Seasoning Fresh herbs like basil and oregano can be used.
  • 1 can Diced Tomatoes Can use fresh tomatoes for a different flavor.
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream Half-and-half can substitute for a lighter option.
  • 1 cup Chicken or Beef Broth Low-sodium options help control saltiness.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large skillet, heat a splash of oil over medium-high heat. Once shimmering, add ground beef and diced onion. Cook for 7-10 minutes until browned and onions are tender. Drain excess fat.
  2. Stir in minced garlic and Italian seasoning, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant. This enhances the flavor foundation for the sauce.
  3. Add diced tomatoes, broth, and heavy cream to the skillet, mixing well. Let the mixture simmer to create a luscious sauce.
  4. Introduce the gnocchi to the bubbling sauce, stirring gently. Cover and let it come to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low. Simmer for about 5 minutes until gnocchi are soft.
  5. Uncover and stir gently, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and gnocchi are tender.
  6. Remove from heat, stir in grated Parmesan cheese, and season with salt and pepper as desired.
