I know many of us in the Midwest aren’t thinking of comfort food right now. We have some crazy weather for February right now: yesterday it was 60º! It’s hard to not be super excited about sunshine, but I know for a fact that it will snow again.

Gnocchi is a pantry staple for us since it’s so quick and easy. Gabby calls it Gnocch-IO (like Pinocchio) and we just let it slide since it’s so cute with her missing teeth. Aside from pasta based dishes, it’s great for soups and slow-cooker meals. Aldi offers both regular and whole wheat varieties!

This creamy pomodoro sauce is going to be a new staple in our house. If you can’t find Red Gold whole tomatoes in a large can, feel free to substitute the crushed variety. I think this would be delicious for homemade pizza or used instead of marinara for Chicken Parmesan.

It’s a great idea to turn this into a pizza baked gnocchi. After cheese, if you add your favorite pizza toppings it’s a fun twist on a pizza night!
