Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees.

Step 2: Following the package directions, cook the gnocchi. Drain when done and transfer to a lightly oiled medium-sized baking dish.

Step 3: Melt the butter in a large saute pan over medium-low heat. Once the butter has melted, add the grated garlic to the pan and cook until tender. Over the garlic, sprinkle the flour, and continue to cook for additional 3 minutes, stirring often. Then, stir in the warmed stock. Cook while whisking continuously until the sauce is smooth and just starts to bubble. Next, add the nutmeg and black pepper. Adjust the heat to low and sprinkle in the cheese a little at a time, stirring until melted. Take the pan off the heat and add the sun-dried tomatoes and fresh basil.

Step 4: Over the gnocchi, pour the sauce. Tent the dish with foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for about 25 minutes or until bubbly. If desired, broil for a couple of minutes to get a lightly-browned top.

Step 5: Remove from the oven when done and serve garnished with extra fresh basil. Enjoy!
