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.

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1 cup shredded sharp white Cheddar
1 cup grated Gruyere (about 3 ounces)

Provided by Katie Lee Biegel

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup freshly grated sharp Cheddar
2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh parsley
12 butter crackers (I like Ritz)
4 strips crisp cooked bacon
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 cups whole milk, plus additional as needed
1 cup canned butternut squash puree
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
Freshly ground black pepper
Two 16-ounce packages gnocchi (see Cook's Note)
3 cups freshly grated sharp yellow Cheddar

Steps:

  • For the topping: Combine the cheese, parsley, crackers and bacon in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture reaches a fine breadcrumb consistency. Set aside.
  • For the mac and cheese: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the flour and stir to combine, then cook about 2 minutes. Whisk in the milk, butternut squash, mustard, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened, 2 to 4 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, add the gnocchi to the boiling water. Cook 2 to 3 minutes, then drain.
  • Stir the cheese into the milk mixture until melted. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of milk. Add the gnocchi and stir to coat. Sprinkle with the crumb topping and serve directly from the skillet.
