Instructions
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook gnocchi in the boiling water until they float to the top
2 to 4 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 1 1/2- to 2-quart casserole dish.
Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour until incorporated and foamy
1 to 2 minutes. Add milk
cream
salt
and pepper; stir constantly until thickened and gently bubbling
5 to 10 minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup of Cheddar cheese and mozzarella.
Drop gnocchi into the prepared casserole dish and cover with cheese mixture. Mix together bread crumbs and 1 tablespoon melted butter in a small bowl; sprinkle over the casserole. Top with remaining Cheddar and Parmesan cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven until the top is browned and cheese is bubbling
about 20 minutes.
Cook's Note:
You can use crumbled crackers in place of bread crumbs
