Ingredients
1 (16 ounce) package — potato gnocchi
2 tablespoons — unsalted butter
1 ½ tablespoons — all-purpose flour
1 ¼ cups — milk
2 tablespoons — heavy cream
½ teaspoon — ground black pepper, or to taste
¼ teaspoon — salt
¾ cup — shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
½ cup — shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup — panko bread crumbs
1 tablespoon — unsalted butter, melted
¼ cup — grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
- 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, black pepper, and salt; stir constantly until thickened and gently bubbling, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese.
- Add gnocchi to the prepared casserole dish; cover with cheese sauce. Combine bread crumbs and 1 tablespoon melted butter in a small bowl; sprinkle over casserole. Top with remaining 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese and Parmesan cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven until top is browned and cheese is bubbling, about 20 minutes.
