Notes
- For storage, keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days to maintain freshness. When reheating, warm individual portions in the microwave for a quick meal, or reheat the entire skillet on low heat while covering it to prevent drying out. For serving, consider pairing your Easy Stovetop Gnocchi Lasagna with a crisp green salad and garlic bread for a complete and satisfying meal. As a chef's tip, feel free to customize the ricotta mixture by adding sautéed spinach or mushrooms for extra flavor and nutrition!
