Hubby's new obsession is gnocchi, and this recipe was so quick and easy for our weeknight meal. I omitted the nutmeg and seasoned with a roasted garlic and red pepper flake blend. Served up with some Asiago Garlic Bread and a salad, we had a really simple meal that satisfied even me, as a sometimes picky eater.
