Crowd-pleaser Gnocchi

Light and fluffy gnocchi is delicious but finicky, especially when cooking in advance for a crowd. Enter the unapologetically rich, creamy comfort-food version of gnocchi. This is where fully loaded baked potato meets macaroni and cheese.

Directions

Prepare Crowd-pleaser Gnocchi

  1. Cook gnocchi according to package directions and drain. Transfer to a 9×13-inch (23×33-centimeter) pan.

  2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).

  3. In the same pot, heat milk and flour, stirring until thickened. Add heavy cream, salt, and pepper, and stir. Mix in cheddar and mozzarella cheeses and stir until melted.

  4. Pour the mixture over the gnocchi.

  5. Add broccoli to one half and sautéed mushrooms to the other half and lightly mix each side so the vegetables are incorporated. Top the broccoli half with a light sprinkle of panko crumbs and the mushroom half with cornflake crumbs. Sprinkle Parmesan over the whole thing.

  6. Bake until the cheese on top is brown and the whole thing is bubbly, about 20 minutes.

Notes:

If preparing in advance, assemble and then cover and refrigerate without baking. Bake from the fridge covered for 20 minutes and uncovered for 20 minutes.

Can I freeze it once it's all done or only the gnocchi on its own?

  1. You can substitute the milk for oat milk, leave out the cheese and use pasta sauce- it will really be a twist on this recipe, but feel free to experiment!
  2. You can freeze this dish! Let the cooked gnocchi cool to room temperature. Transfer the gnocchi to a freezer bag or airtight container. Label the bag or container with the date and freeze for up to three months.

Good luck!
