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.

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a medium pan over medium heat.

Dice the onion and chorizo.

Fry the diced onion and chorizo together until the onion has softened, about 5 minutes.

Pour both cans of tomatoes over the onion and chorizo mixture.

Add any seasonings like salt, pepper, or herbs you wish to include.

Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Once simmering, add in the gnocchi and cook until soft.

Add some of the mozzarella and most of the basil leaves to the sauce and mix well.

Pour the contents of the pan into a baking dish.

Add extra torn mozzarella on top.

Place under the grill until the mozzarella bubbles and turns golden brown.

Remove from the grill and serve immediately.
