Cheesy baked gnocchi Bolognese is the perfect Sunday dinner. Guaranteed to keep those Sunday Scaries at bay. GOOD homemade Bolognese is very easy to make, and incredibly delicious. The only real hurdle in this recipe is giving the sauce 1.5-2 hours to gently simmer.

This bolognese is paired with tender gnocchi and baked in the oven with mozzarella cheese rendering a hearty cheesy Italian dinner that is sure to impress. It's become a staple in our home and one of my absolute favorite recipes to make!
