Steps:
- Heat cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until just simmering. Add two-thirds of the cheese; stir until melted. Stir in nutmeg and the pepper. Remove from heat; cover to keep warm.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Butter an 8-inch square baking dish; set aside. Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add the salt. Add half the gnocchi; when they rise to the top (after about 2 minutes), continue to cook until tender, about 15 seconds more. Transfer gnocchi with a slotted spoon to buttered dish. Repeat process with remaining gnocchi.
- Pour cheese sauce over gnocchi, and gently toss. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Bake gnocchi until golden brown, about 25 minutes
Tips:
- Choose the Right Gnocchi: Opt for fresh or frozen gnocchi for the best texture and flavor. If using dried gnocchi, boil it according to the package instructions before baking.
- Use High-Quality Cheese: The quality of the cheese you use will greatly impact the taste of the dish. Use freshly grated Parmesan and a flavorful cheddar cheese for a rich and creamy sauce.
- Don't Overcook the Gnocchi: Gnocchi cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. It should be tender but still slightly firm when you bite into it.
- Make Sure the Sauce is Thick Enough: The sauce should be thick enough to coat the gnocchi evenly. If it's too thin, it will make the dish watery. If it's too thick, it will be difficult to stir and may burn.
- Add Some Vegetables: Feel free to add some vegetables to the dish for extra flavor and nutrition. Sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or broccoli are all great options.
- Serve Immediately: Baked gnocchi is best served immediately after it's cooked. The gnocchi will start to absorb the sauce and become mushy if it sits for too long.
Conclusion:
Baked creamy cheesy white sauce gnocchi is a delicious and comforting dish that's perfect for any occasion. With its creamy sauce, tender gnocchi, and flavorful cheese, it's sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try.
