But this time, we&#8217;re giving the protein a break and turning this delicious sauce into a comforting pasta dinner by mixing it with one of our favorites: gnocchi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The velvety sauce blends perfectly with the hearty gnocchi, creating a comforting meal that&#8217;ll keep you coming back for more. Want to make it vegetarian? Just swap chicken broth for vegetable broth to make it vegetarian-friendly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Planning to prepare this in advance? No problem! Simply whip up your gnocchi and sauce, mix them together, then pop them into an oven-safe dish, cover tightly, and refrigerate overnight. The next day, add your mozzarella and bake as directed. Since your dish will be chilled from the fridge, you might need to add a few extra minutes to the cook time\u2014just keep an eye on it until the cheese starts to melt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--WPRM Recipe 33750-->\n<div class=\"wprm-fallback-recipe\">\n\t<h2 class=\"wprm-fallback-recipe-name\">Tuscan Butter Gnocchi<\/h2>\n\t\t<p class=\"wprm-fallback-recipe-summary\">\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t<div class=\"wprm-fallback-recipe-equipment\">\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"wprm-fallback-recipe-ingredients\">\n\t\t<ul><li>4 tablespoons butter<\/li><li>3 cloves garlic (minced)<\/li><li>2 tablespoons tomato paste<\/li><li>2 cups halved cherry tomatoes<\/li><li>1 teaspoon dried oregano<\/li><li>2 tablespoons kosher salt (plus more)<\/li><li>Freshly ground black pepper<\/li><li>Pinch of red pepper flakes<\/li><li>4 cups baby spinach<\/li><li>1 cup low-sodium chicken broth<\/li><li>1 cup heavy cream<\/li><li>1\/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan<\/li><li>1\/4 cup freshly chopped herbs (such as basil and parsley, plus more for garnish)<\/li><li>2 17.5-ounce packages gnocchi<\/li><li>1 cup shredded mozzarella<\/li><\/ul>\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"wprm-fallback-recipe-instructions\">\n\t\t<ol><li>Preheat broiler to medium.
