- 1 kilogram gnocchi
- 60 grams butter
- 30 grams plain flour
- 1 pint milk
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 teaspoons english mustard
- 2 heads of broccoli
- 200 grams cheddar cheese grated
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
- Melt 30 grams of the butter in a large pan over a medium heat. Add the gnocchi and cook, stirring regularly, for about 5 minutes until golden brown. Tip into a large ovenproof dish.
- Melt the rest of the butter in the pan. Add the flour and stir to create a thick paste, then turn off the heat. Gradually add the milk, stirring all the time, to make a smooth sauce. Add the bay leaves, mustard and salt and pepper. Turn the heat back to medium and cook until the sauce is simmering and thick.
- Cut the broccoli into small florets and add to the sauce, along with 150g of the cheese. Stir until combined.
- Tip the sauce into the dish with the gnocchi, stir until the gnocchi is all coated in the sauce. Top with the remaining cheese.
- Bake in the oven for 30 minutes, until golden and bubbling.
