Step-by-Step Instructions for Creamy Baked Gnocchi
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Gently add the potato gnocchi and cook according to package instructions until they float. Drain and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer, cooking for about 5 minutes until thickened.
Remove the sauce from heat and gently fold in the cooked gnocchi. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Pour the gnocchi and sauce mixture into a greased baking dish and spread evenly. Sprinkle cheese generously over the top.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and bubbly. Optionally, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes for extra crunch.
Let the dish cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Pair with a green salad or garlic bread.
