Instructions
- Preheat oven to 190 degrees Celsius (375 Fahrenheit).
- Boil potato gnocchi in salted water until they float, about 2 minutes, then drain.
- In a saucepan, melt unsalted butter over medium heat.
- Add diced onion and minced garlic clove to the butter and cook until soft and translucent, about 3 minutes.
- Sprinkle all purpose flour over the butter and onion mixture and stir continuously for 1 minute to make a roux.
- Gradually whisk in whole milk to the roux, stirring constantly to avoid lumps, and cook until sauce thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
- Remove sauce from heat and stir in half of the grated cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.
- Add cooked ham diced to the sauce and mix well.
- Combine the cooked gnocchi with the cheese and ham sauce, stirring gently to coat evenly.
- Transfer the gnocchi mixture to a baking dish and sprinkle the remaining grated cheddar cheese on top.
- Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the top is golden and bubbly.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Tips
- Use fresh gnocchi for best texture.
- Do not overcook gnocchi in boiling water to avoid mushiness.
