Method
Let’s start by turning on and preheating the oven to 180°C (350°F).
Next, in a large pot, bring lightly salted water to a boil, add the gnocchetti, and cook for about 10 minutes, considering that the cooking will be finished in the oven. At the same time, clean and cut the cauliflower into pieces, cooking it in boiling water for about 7 minutes, until it reaches a soft and slightly crispy consistency. In a large skillet, add some olive oil and sauté finely chopped garlic until it takes on color and becomes golden. At this point, add the previously crushed peeled tomatoes and cook for about 15 minutes over low heat, stirring occasionally. In a lightly oiled baking dish, evenly distribute the cooked gnocchetti, add the cauliflower, cubed mozzarella, and mix well after pouring the tomato sauce. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top to obtain a crunchy crust and bake for about 15-20 minutes. Once cooked, remove the baking dish from the oven and let it cool slightly for a few minutes. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley, and the dish is readyThese baked gnocchetti with cauliflower and tomato are perfect for a tasty meal with company!
Enjoy your meal!
