My Tip

To enhance the depth of flavor in your One-Pan Sun-Dried Tomato Ricotta Gnocchi, let the tomato paste cook a bit longer until it darkens and caramelizes—this will intensify its sweetness and richness, making your dish even more delicious.

Leftovers

To store your One-Pan Sun-Dried Tomato Ricotta Gnocchi, place leftovers in an airtight glass container in the fridge, where they’ll stay fresh for up to three days. When you're ready to enjoy them again, reheat gently in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of water or broth to keep everything nice and saucy!

Make It Your Own

For a delightful twist, swap the spicy Italian chicken sausage for crumbled tempeh and add a splash of soy sauce for an umami kick. This keeps it plant-based while still packing in plenty of flavor!
