Baked Gnocci

Comfort food time! I made this dish a few days ago for dinner and I already want to make it again. Slightly cheesy, full of vegetables and whole grains, this was so delicious. While I usually eat kale raw in salads, I forgot how much I enjoy it cooked as well. Butternut squash is almost vanishing from the grocery stores, so if you can’t find it then substitute another type of squash or carrots.

If you are superwomen, they you can try to make your own gnocci but there are a lot of great grocery store brands that you can purchase. I found whole wheat gnocci at Trader Joe’s, they work perfectly here.
