Gnocchi
  1. Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil then add a few teaspoons of salt.
  2. Boil gnocchi as the package describes, about 3-4 minutes. Keep a half cup of pasta water just in case you need it, then strain off the water.
  3. If sauce is lumpy, use a stick blender to smooth it out.
  4. Add pasta water a quarter cup at a time if sauce seems thick.
  5. Just before serving, gently combine gnocchi and parmesan cheese in the sauce.
  6. Portion into bowls and garnish with the basil.
