Ingredients

  • Butter, for baking dish
  • 1 (12-ounce) package potato gnocchi
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes, strained
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon cracked black pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
  • 1 (3 to 4 pound) roasted chicken, diced
  • 8 ounces smoked mozzarella, cut in small cubes
  • 4 tablespoons grated Parmesan, divided
  • Basil leaves, chiffonade, to garnish

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly butter an 8 by 8-inch baking dish.

Cook the gnocchi according to package directions.

In a large deep saute pan over medium-high heat, add the oil. Stir in the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until the garlic begins to brown, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, salt, pepper, and parsley. Reduce the heat and bring to a simmer. Add the gnocchi and chicken. Toss well to combine. Mix in the mozzarella and 2 tablespoons of the Parmesan. Pour the mixture into the baking dish and sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan. Bake until the cheese is melted and nicely browned, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the dish from the oven, garnish with the basil leaves and serve.

    I watched the episode and couldn't wait to make this one. I am like several of the reviewers prior and thought the spice was a bit off. I followed my instinct about the red pepper flakes and added less, but the salt was waaaaaaaaaaaay too much! I think maybe it should have been teaspoons instead of tablespoons. I will try it again and adjust the salt as well as the red pepper flakes. I think that would make it perfect. It had great flavor otherwise. If not for those two things, I would give it 5 stars.

    1st time I made this, I doubled it and there were only 2 small servings left for lunch. When I was thinking about what to make next night, everyone hands-down, asked me to make this again! I now have this down so that I feed everyone, and have a few lunch servings left. I use 3 bags gnochhi, (2 8oz braids of smoked mozz, (5 14oz cans tomatoes (LOVE fire-roasted, 3 thick boneless chicken breasts sprinkled with seasonings and microwaved 12-15 minutes, about 4 tablespoons garlic. 6-8 'shakes' of red pepper. As for salt and pepper, I season by hand as I would most dishes. (You can always add more!. This has a great spicy taste even without so much red pepper. With these measurements, I get close to a TRIPLE batch without spending so much money on cheese and chicken. BTW, this all fits nicely in a 9x13 pan.
