This dish tastes best when eaten immediately, but I understand there might be leftovers. You can store them in an air-tight container in the fridge for 2-3 days.
The sauce thickens quickly once you remove the pan from the heat and the gnocchi absorbs some of the liquid. So, when you are ready to reheat, place it back in a pan with a splash of vegetable stock and heat on low until warmed through.
