For this gnocchi mac and cheese, I combine two favorites, baking pillowy gnocchi in a rich Cheddar cheese sauce. You won't miss the macaroni at all.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 3 servings

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • 1/4 cup heavy cream

  • 1 cup evaporated milk or half-and-half, or more as needed

  • 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

  • 1/2 teaspoon prepared mustard

  • 1 cup shredded sharp extra-sharp Cheddar cheese

  • 2 tablespoons Cheddar cheese powder

  • 12 ounces refrigerated prepared gnocchi

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  2. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium high-heat. Whisk in flour until smooth, and cook about 1 minute.

  3. Whisk in cream, evaporated milk, Worcestershire, and mustard. Stir in Cheddar cheese and cheese powder and cook until cheese melts, about 2 minutes. If you prefer a thinner sauce, add evaporated milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until sauce is the consistency you like.

  4. Stir in gnocchi; pour mixture into a small baking dish.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly, about 20 minutes. Serve immediately.
