I’ve made this tasty dish multiple times this month because it’s that good!

Spinach and ricotta gnocchi gratin is a comforting dish that brings together the creamy goodness of ricotta with the earthy taste of spinach, all wrapped up in a deliciously cheesy crust. This dish is perfect for those cozy nights when you crave something warm and satisfying. Gnocchi, traditionally Italian, are little dumplings that can be made from potatoes, flour, or in this case, ricotta cheese. This version is lighter and pairs beautifully with a creamy cheese sauce. It’s a dish that feels like a hug on a plate, perfect for sharing with family or friends.

This spinach and ricotta gnocchi gratin pairs wonderfully with a simple green salad dressed with a light vinaigrette to balance out the richness of the dish. A side of crusty bread is perfect for mopping up the creamy sauce. For a complete meal, consider serving it alongside roasted vegetables or a grilled chicken breast.
