This Gnocchi Casserole with Ham and Peas recipe was especially timely as I had some leftover Ham from New Year’s dinner and almost every other ingredient handy.
As I pointed out in this recipe (Chicken Alfredo Gnocchi Bake), I think Gnocchi is seriously underrated. There are so many dishes you can make using potato gnocchi.
While I used a cast-iron skillet to make this casserole, you can use any skillet as long as it’s oven safe. Most skillets will have a marking on the bottom of them indicating if they are oven safe.
If you are not a fan of Gruyere cheese or have a hard time finding some at your local grocery store, Swiss cheese would be a good substitute.
An alternative to using chicken broth is Better Than Bouillon. I often use it when I don't have broth on-hand.
