Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F) using conventional oven settings (top and bottom heat). Wash the broccoli, break it into small florets, and cut the stalk into thin strips. Halve the tofu lengthwise and press it between two layers of kitchen paper or a clean tea towel to remove excess moisture, then tear it into small pieces, approximately 1 to 2 centimeters (¾ to ¾ inch) in size.

Wash the tomatoes and place them on a baking sheet along with the broccoli, tofu, and gnocchi. Toss with oil and plenty of salt and pepper. Leave some space in the center, unwrap the cream cheese, and place it in the middle of the baking sheet.

Place the baking tray in the oven at 200°C for 25 to 30 minutes, until the broccoli has developed light roasted aromas, the gnocchi are golden brown and slightly crispy on the outside, and the cream cheese has spread out a little.

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and mix the cheese with the vegetables, tofu, and gnocchi, gently crushing some of the tomatoes. While stirring, add the hot water a little at a time until the gnocchi and broccoli florets are evenly coated in the tomato-cheese sauce. Season the oven-baked gnocchi with salt and pepper to taste and serve.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Pre-Dry Your Gnocchi 💧
Pat the gnocchi completely dry with paper towels before tossing with oil; this removes surface moisture and ensures maximum crispiness on the outside during baking.
Cube Tofu for Even Crisping 🧊
Cut tofu into uniform 1-inch cubes and toss separately with oil before baking—this allows them to crisp evenly and prevents them from steaming alongside the gnocchi.
Oil Your Pan Generously 🫒
Use enough oil to create a light coating on the sheet pan and ensure the gnocchi make direct contact with the hot surface for proper browning and crispiness.
Stagger Your Vegetable Timing ⏱️
Add heartier vegetables like broccoli 10 minutes before gnocchi, then add softer tomatoes halfway through baking to prevent them from becoming mushy.
Swirl in Boursin at the End 🌀
Add dollops of Boursin cream cheese in the final 2-3 minutes of baking so it melts into a silky sauce without breaking or separating from the heat.
