Homemade Gnocchi with vegetable cream sauce


The main idea of this recipe was to use up the cooked potatoes and fresh vegetables, that leftover after the raclette grill buffet I made for New Year's Eve. I think the result was a great success, especially considering that it was improvised from leftovers :)
