Amazing and simple comfort dinner. Delicious meatballs baked with gnocchi and smothered in gooey cheese.

I don’t care that it’s still (very, very) warm, I want comfort food! I’ve waited the whole summer and I can’t wait anymore, I want need comfort food now.

Last week, I made some Tomato Herb Gnocchi and of course, I had to follow that with an amazing dish. Meatballs seemed like the best pair for some gnocchi and lot’s of cheese is a must. Now, you absolutely don’t have to make the tomato herb gnocchi, you can use classic gnocchi for this dish, whether it’s homemade or store-bought.

Another thing that can be optional, is the addition of marinara. I definitely recommend it if you are using classic gnocchi, to add some of that tomato sauce deliciousness. Deee-licious dinner awaits you either way you go, so make sure to wear stretchy pants!
