Notes

Feel free to use gluten-free flour and gluten-free gnocchi for a gluten-free version.
You can substitute frozen peas with any other vegetables, such as corn or green beans, for a different twist.
To make this dish even richer, you can add a splash of heavy cream instead of whole milk.
If you want a golden, cheesy topping, broil the dish for 2–3 minutes after adding the Parmesan.
