This easy slow cooker meatball gnocchi is made with tender meatballs, pillowy gnocchi, sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, and a creamy Parmesan sauce for the ultimate cozy weeknight dinner.

If you’re looking for an easy slow cooker dinner that feels comforting but still simple enough for a busy weeknight, this creamy meatball gnocchi is such a good one. Tender meatballs cook in a flavorful sun-dried tomato and garlic sauce, then everything gets finished with pillowy gnocchi, cream, Parmesan, and fresh spinach.

One of the best parts about this crockpot meatball gnocchi is how little hands-on time it requires. The slow cooker does most of the work, and the gnocchi gets added toward the end so it stays soft and tender without becoming mushy. The result is a rich, creamy sauce that coats every bite and makes this recipe feel extra cozy.

This is also a great family-friendly dinner for busy school nights, colder evenings, or anytime you want something hearty without spending an hour at the stove. Serve it on its own for an easy one-pot meal, or pair it with garlic bread, a simple salad, or roasted vegetables.

If you love easy crockpot recipes, creamy pasta dinners, and meals the whole family can enjoy, this slow cooker meatball gnocchi deserves a spot in your dinner rotation.
