Notes
Sauce. If you want your gnocchi to be saucier, you can use up to ¾ cup of heavy cream per recipe and extra parmesan cheese accordingly.
Storing. The leftover gnocchi alfredo will last up to 2 days in the fridge.
Reheating. Bring a few tablespoons of water or heavy cream to a simmer over low heat. Add gnocchi alfredo, cover the lid, and stir every 30 seconds. Continue this process until the mixture is heated through. Alternatively, you can reheat in the microwave for 1 minute or longer until the gnocchi is heated through.
