Ingredients

1 Tablespoon olive oil

½ medium onion, diced 

2 cloves garlic, minced 

1 pound ground American lamb

1 Tablespoon Italian seasoning

1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste 

Pinch black pepper 

1 15-oz can tomato sauce

1 15-oz can diced tomatoes (undrained) 

2 Tablespoons harissa paste

1 pound uncooked potato gnocchi 

6 ounces feta cheese, crumbled 

Fresh parsley, to garnish

 

Directions

Preheat your oven to 400°F. 

Heat oil in a large, oven safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and a pinch of salt and cook until softened, 4-5 minutes.

Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. 

Add American lamb, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring often to break up lamb, until browned and crumbly. 

Add the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, harissa and gnocchi to the skillet and stir to combine. Top with feta cheese. 

Place in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, until bubbly and cheese has melted. Let sit for 5 minutes before serving.

Sprinkle with fresh parsley and enjoy!
