Servings 4
Equipment
- Medium Saucepan
- Large pot
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp butter
- 3 tbsp flour
- 1½ cups milk
- 1½ cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1-2 American cheese slices, to taste
- 1½ tbsp parmesan cheese, finely grated
- Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste
- 16 oz gnocchi, cooked per instructions
Instructions
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat; stir in the flour until well combined, and cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly. Slowly whisk in the milk, whisking constantly, until well combined, and cook and stir until bubbly.
- Reduce the heat to low and add the cheddar, American cheese, and grated Parmesan; stir until melted. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste.
- Cook the gnocchi in a large pot of salted boiling water, according to the package instructions. Drain, reserving ¼ cup of the cooking water.
