Notes
If this is served as an entree, it will yield 2 servings, however you can expect 4 servings if it is a side dish.
You can use regular gnocchi instead of whole wheat gnocchi, however whole wheat is recommended if you are trying to make the dish healthier.
If you are absolutely terrified of anchovy paste, you can omit it. However, it add a nice earthiness to the dish and you don't taste the fish flavor.
If doubling or tripling this recipe for a larger crowd, plan on a longer simmering time.
