Ingredients
– 1 pound gnocchi
– 1 cup heavy cream

– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon dried basil
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. 1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook according to package instructions, about 2-3 minutes, until they float to the top.
2. 2. Drain the gnocchi and return them to the pot.
3. 3. In a small saucepan, combine the heavy cream, Parmesan, garlic, basil, salt, and pepper. Heat over medium, stirring occasionally, until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth, about 5 minutes.
4. 4. Pour the creamy sauce over the gnocchi and gently toss to coat.
5. 5. Serve the Marry Me Gnocchi immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan and fresh basil, if desired.

For a richer, creamier sauce, you can use half-and-half or a combination of heavy cream and milk. You can also add sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or sun-dried tomatoes to the dish.
