"This is a recipe I watched Aaron McCargo Jr make on Food Network. It looked amazing! I HAD to make it and it was soooooo good. I am submitting the recipe as he wrote it, but I made a few changes. First, I doubled it into a 9x13 pan which I sprayed instead of buttering. I didn't double the olive oil. I used petite diced tomatoes and let them cook down a bit. I cubed raw chicken breast and sauteed it with a bit of onion and garlic and added it with the gnocchi as written. I used regular mozzarella instead of smoked. Just little changes that really didn't change the recipe. Enjoy! It is delicious."

I have 2 sons, ages 14 and 15 so food is a priority in our house. We have 2 cats and an extremely energetic 7 month old boxer/pit bull mix. I love to read. I have really begun to love to cook and have gotten pretty good. I enjoy this site so much and actually miss browsing when I don't have the time.
