  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook gnocchi in the boiling water until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain.

  2. Once gnocchi goes into the boiling water, start the sauce: Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add shallots and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in cream and heat to almost a boil. Gradually mix in Fontina and Parmesan cheeses, being careful not to boil. Stir until smooth, then remove from the heat immediately so the sauce doesn't clump.
