See post for substitution options and storage notes.
*we use frozen gnocchi from Green Giant that is 40% gnocchi and only need 1 package. If you use any kind of gnocchi that has gluten in it you will only need 1 9-15 oz package. If you use gluten free gnocchi or full cauliflower gnocchi (usually 12 oz packs), you will need 2 packs for the sauce to thicken properly.
