quickly made with ingredients from the pantry

Dice the bell peppers, grate the cheese, and rinse the beans in a sieve and drain well. Place the gnocchi, meatballs, beans, and diced bell peppers in an ovenproof dish. Spread 400-500g of tomato sauce over the top. Season with salt and/or pepper, depending on the seasoning of the ingredients, and sprinkle with the grated cheese. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (top/bottom heat) for about 30-40 minutes. If the cheese browns too much, cover the dish with aluminum foil. Instead of homemade tomato sauce, you can use a package of tomato puree, e.g., Mediterranean-seasoned. Season the sauce with salt and/or pepper to taste. The specified amount is sufficient for 2-3 people.
