Between the two trays, evenly divide the spinach, gnocchi, pesto, mascarpone, tomatoes, and as much of the red pepper flakes as you'd like, depending on how spicy you'd like the dish to be. Stir to combine. Add 2 tablespoons of water to each tray. Season with salt and pepper; stir to thoroughly combine.
