    Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 1 1/2-quart casserole with cooking spray. Cook spinach as directed on package; drain in colander or large strainer. Press to remove excess moisture. Set aside.

    Bake about 30 minutes or until bubbly and browned on top and gnocchi is tender.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Use sturdy paper towels or clean kitchen towels to wring as much moisture out of the spinach as possible.
  • tip 2
    Three cups frozen gnocchi from a 16-oz bag can be substituted for the shelf stable. Follow directions above.
  • tip 3
    Swiss cheese can be substituted for the Gruyere cheese.
