INGREDIENTS

  • Main Ingredients

    • 1 (16 ounce) package potato gnocchi

  • Sauce

    • 🧈 2 tablespoons butter
    • 🍞 1 ½ tablespoons all-purpose flour
    • 🥛 1 ¼ cups milk
    • 🥛 2 tablespoons heavy cream
    • 🧂 ½ teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
    • 🧂 ¼ teaspoon salt
    • 🧀 ¾ cup shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
    • 🧀 ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

  • Toppings

    • ½ cup panko bread crumbs
    • 🧈 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
    • 🧀 ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

STEPS

1

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.

2

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 1 ½- to 2-quart casserole dish.

3

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, black pepper, and salt; stir constantly until thickened and gently bubbling, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in ½ cup Cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese.

4

Add gnocchi to the prepared casserole dish; cover with cheese sauce. Combine bread crumbs and 1 tablespoon melted butter in a small bowl; sprinkle over casserole. Top with remaining ¼ cup Cheddar cheese and Parmesan cheese.

5

Bake in the preheated oven until top is browned and cheese is bubbling, about 20 minutes.
