Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb Shelf-stable Gnocchi (potato or sweet potato)
  • 1 15 ounce can Pumpkin Puree
  • 1 10 ounce can Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup
  • 1/2 cup Milk (whole milk recommended)
  • 1/2 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
  • 1/4 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1/4 cup Chopped Fresh Sage (optional)

Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • 8x8 inch Baking Dish (or Air Fryer-safe Dish)
  • Large mixing bowl

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 370°F (190°C). Lightly grease an air fryer-safe baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine pumpkin puree, cream of mushroom soup, milk, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and sage (if using). Mix well.
  3. Gently fold in the gnocchi, ensuring they are evenly coated in the sauce.
  4. Pour the gnocchi mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  5. Air fry for 15-20 minutes, or until the gnocchi is heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Shake the dish halfway through for even cooking.
  6. Let the bake cool slightly before serving.

Notes

For a crispier top, broil for the last 1-2 minutes of cooking. You can substitute other cheeses, such as ricotta or fontina, for the mozzarella. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
