One-pan baked gnocchi with chorizo for busy nights

Tasty Baked Gnocchi with Chorizo and Arugula Salad is the kind of comforting dinner that feels special but takes very little effort. Everything goes into a single baking dish, meaning less washing up and more time to enjoy a warm, satisfying meal. Soft potato gnocchi soak up a rich tomato sauce while spicy chorizo brings a bold, smoky kick. It’s a perfect choice for easy weeknight cooking, relaxed weekends, or when you want to feed the family fast without sacrificing flavor.

Why Tasty Baked Gnocchi with Chorizo stands out

The flavor base is all about chorizo, garlic, and dried oregano—simple ingredients that deliver big results. Passata creates a smooth, cozy sauce, while baby spinach adds freshness and a nice balance to the spice. This dish is naturally dairy-free and provides a filling mix of carbs and protein, making it a great option when you need a hearty meal after a long day.

Easy prep tips and simple variations

Grease your baking dish well to prevent sticking, and stir once or twice during baking so the gnocchi cook evenly and get coated in sauce. Prefer it milder? Use a little less chorizo and add extra spinach. You can swap oregano for basil or thyme, and add vegetables like bell pepper or zucchini for more color and crunch. Keep in mind the gnocchi contain gluten and egg.

Serving ideas and perfect pairings

Serve straight from the oven with a crisp arugula salad to lighten the rich tomato-chorizo sauce. Crusty bread is excellent for scooping up every last bit of sauce, and a simple cucumber salad also works beautifully. For a drink, go for sparkling water with lemon or a homemade iced tea.
