Equipment

4-quart pot
Large skillet big enough to hold the cooked gnocchi and cheese sauce

Ingredients

16 ounces gnocchi
2 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all purpose flour
1 cup whole milk
¼ teaspoon mustard powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper ground
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

Boil 4 quarts of water for the gnocchi. Once the water is boiling, cook the gnocchi for about 2-3 minutes, or until they float to the surface.
While the water is coming to a boil, begin the cheese sauce by melting the butter in the skillet. Once the butter is melted, whisk in the flour and spices to start a roux. Then slowly stir in the milk until it everything is well combined, and the mixture is thick.
Remove from the heat. Stir in the cheese.
Drain the gnocchi and stir into the cheese sauce. Serve hot.

Notes

This recipe is best served freshly cooked as gnocchi doesn't store well.
