  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving

Ingredients

Meat and Vegetables

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

Seasonings and Oils

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp dried parsley
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • pepper, to taste

Liquids and Sauces

  • 28 oz marinara sauce
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth

Dairy and Cheese

  • 4 oz mozzarella, shredded or sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh Parmigiano Reggiano, grated

Other

  • 24 oz potato gnocchi
  • Optional: fresh basil for garnish

Instructions

  1. Brown the beef: In a large sauté pan over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it is browned and no longer pink, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease to keep the dish from being too oily.
  2. Sauté aromatics and seasonings: Add the olive oil, chopped onion, minced garlic, onion powder, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried parsley, salt, and pepper to the pan. Cook the mixture for 3 to 5 minutes until the onions are softened and fragrant.
  3. Add liquids: Stir in the marinara sauce and chicken broth, mixing thoroughly to combine all the flavors.
  4. Simmer the sauce: Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let the sauce simmer gently for 20 minutes to develop deep flavors.
  5. Cook the gnocchi: Stir in the potato gnocchi to the simmering sauce, cover again, and cook an additional 10 minutes until the gnocchi is tender and cooked through.
  6. Add mozzarella cheese: Stir the shredded or sliced mozzarella into the pan, allowing it to melt evenly into the sauce and gnocchi mixture.
  7. Finish with Parmesan: Sprinkle the grated Parmigiano Reggiano over the top for a sharp, savory finish.
  8. Serve: Optionally garnish with fresh basil before serving hot and enjoy your stovetop gnocchi lasagna!

Notes

  • You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for a lighter protein option.
  • If you prefer vegetarian, omit the meat and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
  • Use gluten-free gnocchi to make this dish gluten free.
  • For a spicier kick, add red pepper flakes with the seasonings.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
