Gnocchi Mac and Cheese (gluten free)

Last week my Mother in law had us over for dinner,,,,she made her wonderful spaghetti sauce and everyone else was going to have ravioli with it. She had bought gluten free gnocchi for me to eat with it, I had never tried them before, but let me tell you they were so good!! I didn't feel like I was missing out on anything!,,So it got me thinking what else I could make with them,,,I do have a recipe on my blog for chicken gnocchi soup, which I will be making with these in the future, but I thought Mac and Cheese would be really good, and it was!!....You can also add this sauce to pasta of your choice I have also used gluten free elbows,,,,Here is what I did......Enjoy!
