Baked Gnocchi Mac and Cheese image

I whipped up this baked gnocchi tonight on a whim and it's so deliciously creamy and buttery--I think the only way mac and cheese could be better is to add potatoes. This recipe covers all the comfort food bases for me.

Time 50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (16 ounce) package potato gnocchi
3 tablespoons butter, divided
1 ½ tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 ¼ cups milk
2 tablespoons heavy cream
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
¾ cup shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup panko bread crumbs
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook gnocchi in the boiling water until they float to the top, 2 to 4 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 1 1/2- to 2-quart casserole dish.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour until incorporated and foamy, 1 to 2 minutes. Add milk, cream, salt, and pepper; stir constantly until thickened and gently bubbling, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup of Cheddar cheese and mozzarella.
  • Drop gnocchi into the prepared casserole dish and cover with cheese mixture. Mix together bread crumbs and 1 tablespoon melted butter in a small bowl; sprinkle over the casserole. Top with remaining Cheddar and Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the top is browned and cheese is bubbling, about 20 minutes.

The gnocchi were a bit too firm for my liking. I think I'll boil them for a minute or two less next time.

This was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

This was a great way to use up leftover gnocchi. I added some chopped broccoli and chicken to the cheese sauce and it was a complete meal.

This was so easy to make and it turned out so delicious! I used a store-bought cheese sauce and it was still amazing.
