Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) potato gnocchi (store-bought or homemade)

2 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup vegetable broth

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for topping

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (or mixed herbs)

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a kick)

Salt and black pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Cook the Gnocchi: In a large pot of salted boiling water, add the gnocchi and cook according to package instructions, or until they float to the surface (about 2-3 minutes). Drain and set aside.

      Prepare the Sauce: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.

        Create the Creamy Base: Whisk in the heavy cream and vegetable broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

          Add Cheese and Seasoning: Sprinkle in the grated Parmesan cheese and continue to stir until melted and combined, creating a creamy sauce. Add the dried Italian herbs, red pepper flakes (if using), and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

            Combine Gnocchi and Sauce: Gently fold the cooked gnocchi into the creamy garlic sauce, ensuring each piece is well-coated.

              Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish, spreading it evenly. Top with the shredded mozzarella cheese and a little extra grated Parmesan for a golden crust.

                Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

                  Garnish and Serve: Once out of the oven, let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

                    Enjoy this creamy and indulgent dish as a comforting dinner option or a crowd-pleasing side at your next gathering!
