One fantastic way to enjoy gnocchi is with Fontina . Fontina cheese is a semi-hard cheese that hails from the Aosta Valley in Italy. The cheese has a distinctive nutty flavour that complements the light and fluffy texture of gnocchi perfectly. The combination of these two ingredients s a dish that is , savoury and utterly .

To create this delightful dish, you’ll need to start by making the gnocchi. Begin by boiling 1kg of until they are soft enough to be mashed. Once they are cooked, peel them, mash them, and then let them cool slightly. When the mashed potatoes are cool, add one egg, one teaspoon of salt, and 250g of flour, and mix them together until you form a dough.

Divide the dough into small sections and place it on a lightly floured surface. Roll each section out into a long, thin rope and then cut the rope into bite-size pieces. You can either leave the gnocchi as is or you can give them a traditional shape by rolling them over the tines of a fork.

Once you have formed all of the gnocchi, place them in a large pot of boiling salted water. Cook the gnocchi until they float to the surface, which usually takes about 2-3 minutes. Remove the gnocchi from the water, toss them with olive oil, and set them aside.

To make the Fontina cheese sauce, start by melting 60g of butter in a saucepan over low heat. Once the butter has melted, add 60g of flour to the pan and stir it together to create a roux. Cook the roux for about two minutes, then slowly add 500ml of milk to the pan, whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming.

Once all the milk is added, add in 250g of shredded Fontina cheese, a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook the sauce over low heat for another five minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the sauce it heated through.

To serve, you can either combine the gnocchi and Fontina cheese sauce in a large pot or on individual plates. Top each serving with an additional sprinkle of shredded Fontina cheese and chopped fresh parsley for a bright, grassy note.

Potato gnocchi with cheese is a comforting and satisfying dish that is perfect for any time of year. The soft pillows of gnocchi and rich cheese sauce make this dish the perfect choice for a hearty dinner or a special occasion. You can even make a big batch and freeze the gnocchi for later use—just boil it for a few minutes before adding it to the cheese sauce and enjoy!
