Ingredients
-
1 (16-ounce) package of shelf-stable potato gnocchi

1 small yellow onion, sliced crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick pieces (1 1/2 cups)

¼ cup refrigerated basil pesto (from a 7-ounce container, such as Buitoni)
-
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper

1 ounce crumbled feta cheese (about 1/4 cup)
Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F. Cover a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

Combine gnocchi, broccoli, onion, pesto, and crushed red pepper on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring everything is evenly coated. Spread the mixture into a single layer.

Bake until the vegetables are soft and the gnocchi begins to brown, about 20 to 25 minutes, stirring once halfway through. Finish by sprinkling feta cheese over the top before serving.
