In a supermarket, I saw a young man buying Gnocchi and choosing a tub of sauce. He chose the white sauce. I wanted to teach him this recipe. Read the instructions below. It is so easy. While you are boiling water to cook Gnocchi, the sauce will be done. If you don’t bake it, it would be even easier and quicker.
