- While gnocchi cooks, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add 2 cloves minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add 1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes and 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Cook and stir for 5-7 minutes, until tomatoes begin to soften.
- Stir in 5 oz fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
- Gently fold in the cooked gnocchi into the tomato-spinach mixture.
- Transfer the gnocchi mixture to the prepared casserole dish.
- Sprinkle 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese and 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until bubbly and the cheese is melted and golden brown.
