Gnocchi Mac N Cheese
Move over, macaroni. It's gnocchi's time to party with cheese.
Supplies
- 1 pound prepared gnocchi
- 2 ounces pancetta, diced
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup white cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup Gruyere cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated, plus 2 tablespoons for topping
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Steps
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Cook gnocchi to al dente, according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a pot, render the pancetta until browned, remove and set aside. In the remaining fat, melt butter and whisk in flour. Cook until the mixture turns light brown.
- Slowly pour in cold milk while whisking, and cook for a few minutes until the sauce begins to thicken. Lower heat and add garlic and cheeses. Stir until fully melted.
- Add cooked pancetta and gnocchi. Stir until well combined, then remove pan from heat.
- In a small bowl, combine panko, parsley, Parmesan and olive oil. In an oven-safe dish, pour the mac and cheese, then sprinkle breadcrumb mixture on top.
- Bake for about 10 to 15 minutes, or until bubbling and golden brown.
