Creamy gnocchi au gratin
One of our favorite family meals is this gnocchi au gratin: pillowy gnocchi in a creamy sauce made with heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, spinach and sun-dried tomatoes. There are also herbs and spices, and it's then baked au gratin with mozzarella cheese. It's as simple as it is quick, and it's terribly delicious.

Instructions
- Cut your chicken cutlet into large cubes and mix with 2 tablespoons of Italian seasoning, salt and pepper.
- Fry the chicken cubes in a hot pan with a light drizzle of olive oil, then set aside.
- Fry garlic cloves and onion until lightly colored. In the meantime, cut off the tough spinach tips.
