Ingredients

  • 1 lb. ground beef

  • 1 15 oz. can tomato sauce
  • 1/2 cup white onion diced

  • 1/4 tsp dried basil or 1 tbsp fresh chopped
  • 1/4 tsp dried oregano or 1 tbsp fresh chopped
  • 1/4 tsp dried parsley or 1 tbsp fresh chopped
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a skillet over medium heat, add ground beef, onions and season with salt. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until beef is browned. Add garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Drain off excess grease.

  • In a 9x13 baking dish, add 1/3 of the sauce on the bottom. Toss the gnocchi on top of the sauce and then pour the remaining sauce on top. Sprinkle the top with the mozzarella cheese.
  • Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes until cheese is melted and slightly golden.
