Tonight's Dinner: Cheesy tomato gnocchi

Pasta's always a big hit at my house; it doesn't matter what form it comes in or what sauce it's drenched in, everyone's plates are always licked clean. But the favorite, hands down, is gnocchi. While I don't make it from scratch, I can always find a good gnocchi at the grocery store. Trader Joe's even sells bags that already have the sauce mixed in. But no matter what kind of pasta I make, creating a different sauce to pour over it every time can get stale. Baking pasta, though, now that's a nice twist on a classic theme.

• 1 pound gnocchi, cooked
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1/2 cup store bought alfredo sauce
