BAKED GNOCCHI WITH CREAMY CHEESE SAUCE is a comforting dish that combines tender potato gnocchi with a rich and creamy cheese sauce, baked to golden perfection.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 500g potato gnocchi
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 200ml cooking cream
  • 100ml milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
  2. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until soft. Stir in garlic and sauté for another minute.
  3. Add cooking cream and milk, stir in pepper, paprika, nutmeg, and salt. Let it simmer until slightly thickened.
  4. Add gnocchi directly to the sauce and stir to coat evenly. Let cook for 2 minutes on low heat.
  5. Transfer gnocchi mixture to a baking dish. Top with mozzarella and cheddar evenly.
  6. Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbling.
  7. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Pair it with a fresh green salad.
  • Serve with grilled chicken or roasted vegetables on the side.
  • Add a drizzle of chili oil for a spicy twist.

  • You can use gluten-free gnocchi for a gluten-free version.
  • Add spinach or mushrooms to sneak in more veggies.
