Indulgent Gnocchi Gratin
- 1 package of premade gnocchi
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1 cup warm milk (I use the microwave)
- 3/4 cup loosely packed grated cheese (I use a blend of parm, guyere, and mild cheddar. you could use anything.)
- 2 tablespoons shredded parm
- Preheat the oven to 400. Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
- In a sauce pan, melt the butter. Just as it melts, sprinkle the flour over it. Whisk these together to form a roux, and then add the warmed milk, whisking as you go. Let it cook for 2 minutes to thicken up, whisking all the while. Congratulations. You've made bechamel sauce.
- When you've finished the bechamel, drop the gnocchi into the boiling water. Cook for 90 seconds, and drain. Add these to a small gratin dish. Sprinkle the blended cheese over the gnocchi. Drizzle the bechamel over the cheese. Sprinkle the top with the grated parm.
- Slip this into the oven for roughly 20 minutes, or until the cheese on top has started to brown, and has formed a delicious crispy crust. Set aside for 10 minutes before you eat it, or you will no longer have taste buds, they will have burned off. Enjoy.
