"This recipe will put a restaurant-grade dish on your table for little money and will surely fill you up. Golden brown gnocchi with a super quick velvety cream cheese sauce and served with juicy burst cherry tomatoes. Perfect as a weeknight dinner and will only cost you less than 3 euros per portion. The basil is optional but we recommend it for a nice touch of herby freshness."
