Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen gnocchi?
Yes. Follow the package instructions for cooking frozen gnocchi. Depending on the product, you may be able to cook them directly from frozen.
Can I make this recipe without heavy cream?
Yes. Half-and-half can be used for a lighter sauce, although it will be less rich. Simmer gently and avoid overheating.
Can I prepare creamy gnocchi ahead of time?
This dish is best served immediately because the sauce thickens as it cools. If preparing ahead, store the gnocchi and sauce in the refrigerator and reheat gently with a splash of milk or cream.
How should I store leftovers?
Place cooled leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat over low heat, stirring gently and adding a little cream or milk to loosen the sauce.
