Notes

🌟 Use shelf-stable gnocchi for the best texture; refrigerated and cauliflower gnocchi are also good alternatives.
πŸ₯„ The sauce thickens as it cools; thin it with a splash of cream, milk, or broth before serving.
🍳 Choose a heavy-bottomed, high-sided skillet to prevent burning and to cook evenly.
