Ingredients

  • 2 lbs. gnocchi homemade (www.joyofkosher.com/recipe/cilantro-pesto-gnocchi/) or store-bought
  • 5 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups whole or 2% milk
  • 2 teaspoon Dijon or spicy mustard
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella
  • ½ cup cubed American cheese
  • ¼ cup grated parmesan
  • 4 tablespoons bread crumbs

Instructions

  • Prepare the gnocchi by making this homemade version or boil the store-bought variety by following package directions. If you are making your own gnocchi, you should double the recipe. Place gnocchi in a casserole dish.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • Make the béchamel: In a large saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons of the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and stir with a wooden spoon until thick, around 30 seconds.
  • Add the milk, mustard, salt, pepper and nutmeg and stir until bubbling and thick, around 5-7 minutes.
  • Add the cheddar, mozzarella and American cheese and stir to combine.
  • Pour the sauce over the gnocchi.
  • Combine the parmesan and bread crumbs and sprinkle over the gnocchi and béchamel. Dollop the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over the crumbs.
  • Baked uncovered for 30-35 minutes, until the top is golden brown. Enjoy!
