Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup cheddar shredded
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 pound uncooked potato gnocchi
- 1 cup mozzarella shredded
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375F and move the rack to the top third of the oven.
- Melt the butter in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat, and then stir in the flour. Let it cook, stirring often, until it smells a bit nutty and turns a light golden brown (about 3 minutes).
- Slowly whisk in the milk, and then add in the seasonings (garlic powder, mustard powder, salt). Continue whisking until the sauce has thickened and coats the back of a spoon (similar consistency to Alfredo sauce). This should take about 5-7 minutes. Don't stop whisking or the milk will scorch on the bottom of the pan.
- Take the skillet off the heat and stir in the cheddar and parmesan, then stir in the gnocchi.
- Top with the mozzarella and bake, uncovered, for 20 minutes. Broil for a few minutes to brown the cheese (watch it carefully so it doesn't burn).
- Let it cool for 5 minutes prior to serving.

Notes
- This dish is quite rich, so I recommend serving it as a side dish, and it serves about 6 depending on portion size.
- There is no need to pre-boil the gnocchi. It'll cook in the oven.
