Cauliflower Gnocchi with a Cauliflower Cream Sauce

Cauliflower has never been more popular!  Gone are the days when cauliflower was  just another boring vegetable your mom made you eat. Thanks to keto and other low carb lifestyles, cauliflower is now being used as a low calorie/carb substitute for pizza crust, mashed potatoes,  rice, you name it.  Now I bring you the ultimate in cauliflower dishes, because you really can never have too much cauliflower.   Using mashed cauliflower for the base of my cream sauce is the perfect compliment to this cauliflower gnocchi.
