Instructions
Preheat and Prep
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with olive oil. Spread the uncooked gnocchi in an even layer in the prepared dish.
Add Sauce and Seasoning
Pour the marinara sauce evenly over the gnocchi. Sprinkle the Italian seasoning over the sauce and drizzle the remaining olive oil on top. Stir gently so the gnocchi is coated in the sauce.
Add Cheese and Bake
Scatter the shredded mozzarella evenly over the top followed by the grated Parmesan. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes until the cheese is golden and bubbly and the gnocchi is cooked through.
Rest and Serve
Allow the baked gnocchi to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Spoon into bowls and serve with crusty bread on the side if desired.
