The gnocchi you can buy ready-made in the supermarket is pretty great, a worthy shortcut for a mid-week meal. This is my go-to recipe for gnocchi, with mushrooms sauteed in plenty of butter and garlic and finished with pine nuts and parsley. With the gnocchi being store-bought this makes a very speedy meal for one. The pack from the supermarket lasted two meals (at least) you could have the rest with tomato sauce or try baking in the oven with leftovers.

Suggestions for leftovers
Baking the rest of the gnocchi gives a different texture and is a great leftovers meal.
