Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.
Add the chicken broth, heavy cream, fresh lemon juice, sun-dried tomatoes, and uncooked gnocchi; stir to mix well then cover with a lid and cook for 5 minutes. Side Note: The gnocchi will cook in the sauce and the starch from the potatoes will thicken the sauce.

Taste and season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste if needed.
