Tuscany is magical\u2014the scenery, the history, the art, and, of course, the food! This Italian region inspires many of our favorite hearty dishes, like creamy Tuscan chicken, saucy Tuscan butter shrimp, and Tuscan chicken pasta. This time, we\u2019re bringing the cozy vibes by infusing meatballs and gnocchi with Tuscan flavors, all in one slow cooker dish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The special touch? Sun-dried tomatoes! They\u2019re chopped and mixed into the meatball blend and stirred into the sauce with the gnocchi. Opt for sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil for tenderness and flavor. Plus, you get sun-dried tomato oil, adding an extra Tuscan kick when added to the broth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While slow cookers excel at many things, browning isn\u2019t their strong suit. After the meatballs are slow-cooked to perfection, a quick broil on a foil-lined baking sheet adds color, flavor, and texture. Meanwhile, the gnocchi cooks in the flavorful broth, making the most of your dinner prep time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This dish is a complete meal in one pot, but garlic bread, broccolini, or oven-roasted asparagus would be delightful additions if you’re hosting a crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
