Baked Gnocchi

This was a terrific dish, although I think I should have done 2 batches of the Gnocchi. I posted the recipe for the Gnocchi just before this one. The recipe says that using the vacuum packed gnocchi from the store works just as well as fresh, but I wouldn't be me if I didn't try out the homemade stuff.

2 pkg. gnocchi
3 c. heavy cream
1 c. reduced sodium chicken broth
1/4 c. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
12 oz. baby spinach
3 oz. goat cheese
1/2 c. freshly grated parmesan

Preheat the oven to 400. Place the gnocchi in a lightly greased 9 x 13 pan. Set aside. In a medium saucepan whisk together cream, chicken broth, and flour over medium heat. COntinue whisking until sauce is simmering and thickened, about 5 minutes. Add the salt, pepper and nutmeg. Add spinach and toss to coat in the cream. Pour over the gnocchi. Crumble goat cheese on top and sprinkle with parmesan. Bake 30 min.
