Gnocchi w/ creamed spinach

Please forgive me....I do not have exact measurements!! The Milk & butter & broth are close estimates & the salt/pepper & nutmeg are to taste :(
1 pkg gnocchi
1 pkg fresh spinach
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup milk (I used skim)
2tb corn starch
1/2-3/4 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded)
1Tbs butter
salt
pepper
nutmeg
Cook gnocchi and spinach in boiling water. Cook "just until cooked". Drain. In pan melt butter. Add chicken broth. Add corn-starch to milk. Add & stir. Add dash of salt/pepper & nutmeg. Stir in cheese until starts to get thick. Move gnocchi and spinach to casserole dish. Add cream sauce & stir. Bake @ 400 deg. until slightly brown & bubbly on top.
I know, again this is not extremely healthy, however if you use skim milk & part skim cheese it's not so bad.
You could serve it as your main dish with a green salad but we served it as our side dish with broiled salmon tonight.
