This is a good base recipe for a basic yummy raindy-day dish. Like others, I added a bit -- used chorizo sausage, finely chopped onion, chopped garlic and, to avoid the gumm-iness of the gnocchi, I parboiled first then pan fried in butter and basil.

Very nice dish. I didn't think it was gummy or too cheesy at all. Make sure you cook the gnocchi as directed; if you cook it too long, it will become gooey or mushy. It's done when it floats to the top--most of the pasta will be done all at the same time, I promise. I thought this was a bit heavy, but you could elimate the sausage to lighten it a tad. The gnocchi definitely makes it filling! We both gobbled this up and enjoyed the leftovers as well. Thanks for the recipe!

It is silly how good this is. I used Bob Evans Premium Cuts Italian Sausage, Parmesan & Romano Robusto Ragu, regular old gnocchi and 3 cups of mozzarella - ridiculous....outstanding.

This was a very easy recipe to make, but it was a little simple and not much flavor.

This Gnocchi Bake is outstanding! I love gnocchi so when I saw this recipe I had to make it. Me, my husband and 4 of our kids who ate it loved it! Delicious and easy. I wouldn't change a thing.

absolutely fabulous!!! My husband raved and raved about this. He even suggested that I put this into our regular rotation. The only thing I did different was to add 1 tsp. of Italian seasoning with the sauce. The ghocchi turned out tender and perfect!!! Thank you so much for such a simple but fabulous recipe!

I added a small bunch of kale (chopped), a red pepper and an onion (softened in the pan). I didn't pre-cook the sausage, but added it with the spaghetti sauce and above ingredients to the slow cooker for several hours. Then followed the instructions to prepare for baking. Four of us feasted on it, and there was some leftover for my son to take to work. Delicious!

Fantastic and simple recipe. I used a full jar of spaghetti sauce (garlic & onion) AND a 1/2 jar of light alfredo sauce. OMG, the flavor was wonderful. Will definitely make again very soon.

Eh. This was mediocre at best. I have to laugh... this really isn't a recipe at all. Just about every cook has made this or something similar, whether following a "recipe" or not. On the flipside, I must say this is perfect for us working folks (it really IS that easy to throw together!). For me, the gnocchi was the deal breaker. It is far too heavy for a gooey, cheese-laden baked dish. Penne or rotini would be a better choice, IMHO. Maybe this will float your boat, but it just didn't mine. Thanks anyways, andrea_d! :)
