I am always on the lookout for easy weeknight meals, and I’m sure most of you could always use another meal to make your weeknights easier, too. Some evenings, after an especially busy day, I’ve found myself starving and standing in front of the refrigerator wondering what to throw together.

30 minute comfort food is just the kind of meal I want at that moment. This cheesy gnocchi skillet with tomatoes and spinach is just the cheesy comfort food that our weeknights need!

We love cheese around here and Crystal Farms helps us fuel that love. Since 1926, Crystal Farms has been committed to providing the highest quality products.

Their cheeses are a rich source of calcium, and all of their products are gluten-free.

Plus, the products are lactose tolerant. And, since they’re conveniently located in the refrigerated dairy section, it’s easy to pick up whatever cheese we need next!

This cheesy gnocchi skillet uses Crystal Farms mozzarella and a chunk of Crystal Farms feta. Some days even the time it takes to dig out a grater and shred cheese can seem like too much time, so it’s nice to pick up a couple of bags of shredded cheese to have on hand when weeknights are especially rushed.

If you look in our fridge at any given time, you’ll most likely find a couple of blocks and couple of bags!

But back to the gnocchi. I love gnocchi, but I don’t make it nearly enough. I don’t know why. It’s super easy to make and can be paired with so many different flavor combinations.

This cheesy gnocchi skillet is filled with the comfort food favorites of tomatoes, onion, garlic, and green bell peppers.

And of course cheese, lots of cheese. Mozzarella is stirred in and feta is sprinkled on top to finish the dish off. The result is an easy, cheesy meal that takes just 30 minutes from start to finish!

  3. One of our family favorites is Chicken Al La Gloria. This recipe is a Pinterest find. It’s made with chicken smothered in mushroom gravy, topped with Munster cheese over a bed of rice. It is very comforting, and Sooo delicious!

  23. Oooh this gnocchi looks so amazing!! I love gnocchi and with the cheese and tomatoes and spinach…it’s irresistible. I love anything with cheese, but a little cheese sprinkled on my veggies and melted has been a recent favorite.

  33. The first dish that came to my mind was Mac and Cheese, but then I saw Lasagna and I love it just as much. Do we have to pick just one dish…that’s too hard because everything is better with cheese. 🙂

  37. Does brie and water crackers count? I know it’s not a dish, but I like something where the main ingredient really stand outs.

  43. Mac & Cheese is a favorite in our house! That may not work on the pretty platter, but I’m sure I can find lots of other wonderful cheesy dishes to serve on it! Thanks for the fabulous giveaway!

  54. I make a breakfast casserole that has four kinds of cheese–the whole family loves it! We also love lasagna, pizza, broccoli casserole, and potatoes with cheese!

  66. I’d have to say my favorite cheesy food to eat and make, besides simple pizza or mac and cheese or cheesecake, is a goat cheese tart with roasted tomatoes, sage, thyme, and rosemary. Delicious any time of year, but especially when tomatoes are truly in season.

  75. My favorite cheese dish other than mac and cheese is my vegetarian lasagna … I normally use mushrooms and asparagus as my vegetables and then make a white béchamel sauce with lots of cheese!
