Gnocchi Casserole

Gnocchi Casserole

I first found this casserole when my husband and I were driving home and wanted to find somewhere new to stop for dinner.  I hit up Yelp, and all the reviews mentioned this place that had awesome Gnocchi Casserole.  Sold!  It was to die for!

The restaurant's version just had the gnocchi baked with sauce and cheese.  I added chicken and green pepper to make it more of a meal and voila! Delicious, cheesy, oven-baked goodness!
