Notes

I used fresh gnocchi in this recipe, but shelf-stable gnocchi should also be OK. Many people are surprised you can bake gnocchi without boiling it first, but in this recipe, you’ll end up with perfectly soft and crispy gnocchi.
This meal is inspired by “Blue Zone” ingredients,  a term used to describe areas where people are most likely to live to the age of 100 or more.
