Notes
Storage: Store any leftover Millionaire Gnocchi in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To maintain the best texture, avoid storing the gnocchi in the sauce; instead, keep them separate and combine when reheating.
Reheating: To reheat, gently warm the gnocchi and sauce in a skillet over low heat, stirring occasionally until heated through. You can add a splash of cream or water if the sauce becomes too thick during reheating.
Serving: Serve the Millionaire Gnocchi immediately after cooking for the best flavor and texture. Garnish with additional grated Parmesan and fresh herbs for an appealing presentation.
Chef’s Tip: For extra depth of flavor, consider adding a splash of white wine to the sautéed onions before adding the cream. This will enhance the sauce and complement the richness of the dish beautifully.
