Creamy white cheese baked gnocchi casserole

Recipe ingredients:

• 1 lb (450g) gnocchi
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup shredded Gruyere cheese (or any other melty cheese like Fontina or Swiss)
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
2. Cook Gnocchi: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the gnocchi according to the package instructions. Drain well and set aside.
3. Prepare White Sauce: Melt the butter over medium heat in a saucepan. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Sprinkle the flour over the butter and garlic, stirring constantly to make a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.
4. Add Cream: Gradually pour in the heavy cream, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, about 3-5 minutes.
5. Add Cheese: Stir in the shredded mozzarella, Gruyere, and grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth—season with dried thyme, salt, and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
6. Combine Gnocchi and Sauce: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked gnocchi and creamy cheese sauce. Stir gently until the gnocchi is evenly coated.
7. Assemble Casserole: Transfer the gnocchi and sauce mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
8. Bake: Sprinkle additional shredded cheese on top if desired. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
9. Serve: Once done, remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. If desired, garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve hot, and enjoy your creamy white cheese gnocchi casserole!
