Cheesy Skillet Gnocchi



I adapted this recipe slightly from a 2014 Cooking Light recipe.  I swapped crushed tomatoes for the diced tomatoes called for in the recipe.  The nutritional information included below is based on the original Cooking Light recipe, but it should be really close.  My husband REALLY liked this recipe and it came together really quickly.

CHEESY SKILLET GNOCCHI

Recipe Notes
I subbed a 28-oz. can of crushed tomatoes for the 1-1/2 cups chopped tomato called for in the original recipe.  The original recipe also calls for whole wheat gnocchi.  I used regular white gnocchi.
