Low FODMAP Skillet Gnocchi

November 28, 2019 by Amy

Looking for a savoury dinner you can make in 20 minutes? Tossed in a homemade cream sauce and topped with melted cheese, this low FODMAP skillet gnocchi will have even your pickiest eaters coming back for seconds!


I cannot say enough good things about this cheesy skillet gnocchi! It’s made with a handful of ingredients, it’s made in one pan, it can travel from your fridge to your face in 20 minutes, and it tastes incredible! Enough said, right?

Seriously, this recipe is packed with a rich, savoury flavour you’d expect from a high-class restaurant. But it won’t cost you an arm and a leg, and you can totally eat it in your pyjamas!

So if you’re feeling a little gourmet this evening, this easy low FODMAP skillet gnocchi is where it’s at!

Keep it FODMAP friendly

Looking for a dinner fit for a foodie? This easy low FODMAP skillet gnocchi is in it to win it! Check out the notes below for tips on keeping this recipe FODMAP friendly.

First up, gnocchi! If you’re in the elimination phase of the program, you’ll need to use gluten-free gnocchi. Gnocchi is made from potatoes, not flour, so gluten-free varieties are pretty easy to track down. You can find gluten-free brands in many large grocery stores like Whole Foods, Walmart, Metro, etc.

Remember, unless you have celiac disease, you’re managing the FODMAP fructan in wheat, not gluten itself.

Next up, cream. If you’re in the elimination phase, you’ll also need to use lactose-free cream. For my North American peeps, both Lactantia and Nielson have lactose-free lines that go up to 35%.

We’ll also be using gruyere cheese. Gruyere is a soft form of swiss cheese often used for fondus (um, yum!). According to the Monash app, gruyere only has trace amounts of FODMAPs. So you can feel free to add a little extra without mucking up your FODMAP load.

If you can’t find gruyere, you can swap it out for pizza mozzarella. But I highly recommend scoping out the cheese aisle for the good stuff! Even if you have to *gasp* ask someone to help you find it (#introvertsunite).

Last but not least, chives. According to Monash, chives don’t have any detectable FODMAPs. So you can garnish this dish with a flourish if that’s your fancy!
