Step 3: Pour in the Cream

Pour the heavy cream (or half-and-half) right over the gnocchi.
It should coat the pieces evenly, creating the creamy base for the casserole.

Step 4: Add Garlic and Cheese

Sprinkle garlic powder or fresh minced garlic over the top.
Then add a generous amount of grated Parmesan, covering the surface.
The cheese will melt into the cream below and crisp up at the top.

Step 5: Bake Until Golden and Bubbly

Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes.

You’ll know it’s ready when:

• The cream is bubbling around the edges.
• The top has formed a golden Parmesan crust.
• The kitchen smells like warm garlic heaven.

Step 6: Let It Rest and Serve

Allow the casserole to sit for 5 minutes before serving.
This helps it thicken and makes the flavors settle beautifully.

Finish with a sprinkle of parsley if you want a festive holiday look.

Serving Suggestions

This casserole shines next to:

• roasted chicken or turkey
• steak or glazed ham
• holiday vegetables
• warm rolls or crusty bread

It’s also amazing on its own as a cozy winter lunch.
