Gnocchi gratinati con funghi Porcini

ricotta cheese

🥗Healthier: cottage cheese

💰Cheaper: cream cheese

Cottage cheese reduces calories while maintaining creaminess.

mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: cheddar cheese

Part-skim mozzarella reduces fat while cheddar is more affordable.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grana padano

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and adds a cheesy flavor.

spinach

🥗Healthier: kale

💰Cheaper: frozen spinach

Frozen spinach is often cheaper and has a longer shelf life.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Stir in fresh spinach and cook until wilted, 2-3 minutes.

In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, egg, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg.

Mix in the wilted spinach and half of the mozzarella cheese.

In a baking dish, layer half of the gnocchi, followed by the cheese mixture.

Top with remaining gnocchi and sprinkle with breadcrumbs and lemon zest.

Cover with the remaining mozzarella and parmesan cheese.

Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden and bubbly.

Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Garnish with fresh basil before serving.
