Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potato gnocchi and cook for 2-3 minutes until they float. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain.
  2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream and your choice of cheese. Stir for about 5 minutes until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Gently fold the drained gnocchi into the creamy sauce, ensuring each piece is coated.
  4. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish. Pour the gnocchi and sauce mixture into the dish.
  5. Sprinkle additional cheese over the top and bake for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.
  6. Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. Scoop out portions and enjoy warm.
