Method
 

Preheat and Prepare
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Make the Sauce
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together softened cream cheese, heavy cream, and vegetable broth until smooth. Stir in minced garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Combine Ingredients
  1. Add uncooked gnocchi, chopped artichoke hearts, and fresh spinach to the sauce. Stir gently to combine.
Assemble and Bake
  1. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Top with shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese.
Bake
  1. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until bubbly and golden. Broil for 1-2 minutes for a crispier top.
Rest and Serve
  1. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use a combination of Gruyère and mozzarella cheese. Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to prevent lumps in the sauce.
