this is far from what i consider easy...it is incredibly time-consuming - and HARDLY fits the title that it was under "7 easy weeknight dinners"...as IF the working person had time to hand-make gnocchi!!!

This recipe was outstanding - though we did not stick to the instructions word for word.

Mixed into the gnocchi dough was a bit of pepper and oregano.

Once the gnocchi was boiled, I placed the balls in a casserole dish that was rubbed with a healthy amount of extra virgin olive oil. Next I placed chopped tomatoes throughout the dish and covered in a light layer of spaghetti sauce. Then I fried a pan of ground beef mixed with cilantro and blue cheese and spread over the gnocchi and sauce. Next we emptied the rest of the spaghetti sauce over the dish and covered in grated Fontina and Smoked Mozzarella.

The dish took a little longer to bake with the extra ingredients, but man-oh-man was it tasty!

Served with an Italian salad and Lamb chops - everyone at the table was in heaven.
