Making Creamy Baked Gnocchi is a delightful experience that requires just a few simple steps. Follow this guide for a seamless cooking journey:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking.
2. Cook Gnocchi: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Drain and set aside.
3. Sauté Garlic: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
4. Make the Cream Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and stir. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat. Add the Parmesan cheese, dried basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy.
5. Combine Gnocchi and Sauce: Gently fold the cooked gnocchi into the creamy sauce, ensuring they are well coated.
6. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the gnocchi mixture into a greased baking dish. Spread evenly.
7. Add Mozzarella: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly on top.
8. Bake: Place the baking dish into the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
9. Garnish and Serve: Once out of the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

With these simple steps, you’ll have a comforting and delicious Creamy Baked Gnocchi ready in no time!
