Instructions

  • Add the gnocchi, lemon juice, broth and garlic cloves. Stir so the gnocchi is fully covered by the broth
  • Add the spinach on top and cover with tin foil. Bake for 15 minutes
  • At the 15 minute mark stir the casserole and if you're using the mozzarella spread it on top of the dish (tip: Your broth should be bubbling when you check it at the 15 minute mark. If it's not return the dish to the oven for another 5-10 minutes before stirring and adding the cheese
  • Bake another 15 minute covered.
  • Uncover for 5 minutes and bake until the cheese is melted and lightly browned.
