Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound potato gnocchi
1 (1.8-ounce) packet white sauce mix
2 1/4 cups milk
6 roasted garlic cloves, minced or pressed
6 ounces Gorgonzola crumbles
1 store-bought roasted chicken (approximately 2 pounds), shredded
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves

Steps:

To a large pot of boiling salted water, add gnocchi and cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until they float to the surface. Drain and return to pot; cover to keep warm.
In a medium saucepan, over medium-high heat, whisk together white sauce mix and milk. Bring to a boil stirring constantly. Reduce heat to simmer and add minced garlic and Gorgonzola crumbles. Continue to simmer, stirring occasionally for 2 to 3 minutes as sauce thickens; remove from heat.
Add shredded chicken to gnocchi. Pour sauce over warm gnocchi and chicken, and toss to combine. Serve warm and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
