Gnocchi can be a bit deceitful! They are very hearty and will make you satiated sooner than you expect, so it’s better to serve small portions. Also, a fresh salad on the side works wonders to balance the thickness and richness of the sun-dried tomato gnocchi.
Our recipe makes a thick sauce with intense flavor that sticks well to the gnocchi. You may add more broth if you wish a thinner sauce, or adjust the amount and fat content of the cream to reach the consistency you prefer for your gnocchi.
