Time 20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound refrigerated gnocchi
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons chopped shallots
8 ounces Italian fontina cheese, cubed
⅓ cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi, and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain, and set aside.
  • Once the gnocchi goes into the pot, start the sauce, as you want the gnocchi to be done first. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallots, and cook for a few minutes, until tender. Stir in the cream, and heat to almost a boil. Gradually mix in the fontina and parmesan cheeses, being careful not to boil. Stir until smooth, then remove from the heat immediately, or the sauce may clump.
  • Place gnocchi into serving dishes, and spoon the sauce over them. Garnish with chopped fresh basil.

I had high hopes for this dish, but I was disappointed. The sauce was bland and the gnocchi was overcooked. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

This dish was a bit too cheesy for my taste, but it was still good. I think I would use less cheese next time. The gnocchi was cooked perfectly and the sauce was flavorful.

This gnocchi in fontina sauce was a delight! The gnocchi was soft and fluffy, and the sauce was rich and creamy with a wonderful cheesy flavor. I added a bit of extra garlic and thyme, which gave it an even more delicious flavor. My family loved it!
