Notes

Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove over low heat, adding a splash of milk or cream to revive the creamy consistency. For making ahead, prepare the sauce in advance but add to gnocchi just before serving. Don't forget to drain the gnocchi well for the sauce to stick!
