Gnocchi With Cheese Sauce Recipes

BAKED GNOCCHI WITH SAGE AND CHEESE SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350° F/180 °C.
• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and whisk until flour turns golden brown, about 3 minutes. Add the warm stock and milk, continue to whisk until it thickens, about 3 minutes. Stir in the salt, nutmeg and sage.
• Add the fontina and Parmesan cheese and stir with a spoon until melted. Stir in the gnocchi (no need to pre-boil) and transfer to a baking dish and bake for 20 minutes until the top is bubbly and golden.
• Serve warm topped with grated Parmesan cheese.

EASY CREAMY GNOCCHI SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil, seasoned with about 1 tablespoon kosher salt.
• Once the water is boiling, add the gnocchi and boil until they float, about 2 to 3 minutes. Save out 1/2 cup of the pasta water, then drain the gnocchi and keep it in the strainer while you quickly make the sauce.
• In the same pan, melt the butter with the pepper and heat it over medium heat for 1 minute. Add 1/2 cup of the reserved pasta water and heat for 1 minute.
• Add the gnocchi back to the pan and add the Pecorino cheese. Stir for a minute until a creamy sauce forms. Serve warm, garnished with more Pecorino.

EASY GNOCCHI WITH BUTTER GARLIC AND PARMESAN

Steps:

• Prepare your ingredients first: smash and mince garlic, take thyme leaves off sprigs, cut butter, and open package of Parmesan cheese if needed.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to boil, stir the water with a wooden spoon, and add gnocchi while water is swirling. (This will help keep gnocchi from sticking.)
• Let gnocchi boil until they all float at the top and give it another minute. Pour water and gnocchi through a fine strainer and let excess water drain off.
• When gnocchi is almost done boiling, preheat a saute pan over medium-high heat.
• Melt butter and start to saute garlic. When garlic starts to golden, add thyme and saute just a couple of seconds until fragrant.
• Carefully add gnocchi, season with some salt, and toss everything to mix. Sear, stirring once in a while, until sides of gnocchi get golden. (If you like it crispier, sear it a little longer until browned.)
• Grate Parmesan cheese over the top, stir, and serve.

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 400F (200C), lightly oil an 8 x 6 inch baking dish.
• In a medium/large pan, add the olive oil, garlic, purée, water, oregano, basil, and salt. Stir to combine, on medium heat cook until thickened (not too thick), approximately 15-20 minutes.
• While sauce is cooking, cook the gnocchi in the boiling salted water, just until they float to the surface, approximately 30 seconds, drain immediately, do not rinse.
• When sauce has thickened add the gnocchi and toss gently, place in the prepared baking pan, top with the shredded Mozzarella and then the grated Parmesan cheese. Bake for approximately 5 minutes then raise heat and broil for another 3-5 minutes or until cheese has browned, (watch it doesn't burn). Serve immediately. Enjoy!

GNOCCHI IN FONTINA SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi, and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain, and set aside.
• Once the gnocchi goes into the pot, start the sauce, as you want the gnocchi to be done first. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallots, and cook for a few minutes, until tender. Stir in the cream, and heat to almost a boil. Gradually mix in the fontina and parmesan cheeses, being careful not to boil. Stir until smooth, then remove from the heat immediately, or the sauce may clump.
• Place gnocchi into serving dishes, and spoon the sauce over them. Garnish with chopped fresh basil.

GNOCCHI ALLA BAVA (POTATO GNOCCHI WITH FONTINA CHEESE SAUCE) RECIPE

Steps:

• For the Gnocchi: Adjust oven rack to middle position, and preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Set potatoes either on a wire rack set over a baking sheet, on a baking sheet lined with a layer of salt, or directly on the oven's racks. Bake until completely tender throughout when pierced with a fork, about 45 minutes. Transfer potatoes to a work surface. Using tongs to hold hot potatoes, slice each in half lengthwise.
• Using a spoon, scoop potato flesh into a ricer or food mill fitted with the finest disk. Press potato flesh onto a clean work surface, spreading it into an even layer, and allow steam to escape for a few minutes.
• Drizzle egg yolks all over. Sprinkle with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt.
• Scoop 3/4 cup (100g) flour into a fine-mesh strainer and tap to dust flour all over potatoes.
• Using pastry blender or bench scraper, chop down repeatedly all over to cut flour and egg into potato.
• Using a bench scraper, gather up shaggy potato mass and pat into a loose ball. Press ball flat with hands, then fold in half using bench scraper and press down again.
• Scoop remaining 1/4 cup (30g) flour into sieve and dust all over potato dough. Continue to gently fold and press, just until a uniform dough comes together; make sure to simply fold and press down and avoid the smearing motion more commonly used when kneading bread. Add additional flour as necessary to achieve a dough that's tender and moist yet can hold its shape, but not wet and sticky (whether you need more flour, and how much you might need, will depend on natural moisture content of the potatoes you use, which is highly variable, but a dough that's too wet and pasty is prone to falling apart when boiled).
• Dust potato dough all over with flour and gently form into a log.
• Clean work area well and dust with fresh flour. Using bench scraper, slice off a roughly 2-inch-thick portion of dough and roll into a snake about 1/2 inch thick; use a light touch as you roll, trying to use your palms more than your fingers, and dusting as necessary with flour to prevent sticking.
• Using bench scraper, cut snake into 1-inch portions, trimming off uneven ends as necessary. If desired, gently roll each gnocco on the tines of a fork to give it a ridged exterior. Transfer gnocchi to a well-floured area or baking sheet and repeat with remaining dough. If not cooking recipe start-to-finish, baking sheet of gnocchi can be transferred to the freezer at this point (see make-ahead and storage section for full freezing instructions).
• For the Sauce and to Serve: Bring a large pot of salted water to a simmer over medium-high heat. Meanwhile, in a 3-quart saucier or 12-inch stainless-steel skillet, combine cream, Fontina, butter, a pinch of black pepper, and nutmeg.
• Set over medium heat and cook, whisking constantly, until butter and cheese are fully melted and a smooth, silky sauce has formed, about 4 minutes. Season with salt, but only if necessary. Keep warm, stirring frequently to prevent a skin from forming.
• Working in batches to prevent crowding the pot, add gnocchi to simmering water and cook, gently shaking the pot as needed to keep them from sticking, until they float to the surface. Using a spider skimmer, lift floating gnocchi from the water and let drain, then transfer to cheese sauce. Toss very gently with a large spoon to coat, being careful not to break gnocchi. Repeat with remaining gnocchi and toss gently once more to coat.
• Remove from heat. Divide gnocchi and sauce between warmed serving bowls, top each portion with grated nutmeg, and serve.
