Ingredients for Baked Gnocchi With Blue Cheese And Prosciutto Cream Sauce

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 4 ounces crumbled blue cheese
  • 3 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • Parmesan Cheese

How to Make Baked Gnocchi With Blue Cheese And Prosciutto Cream Sauce

  1. In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup heavy cream to a gentle boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
  2. Add 4 ounces crumbled blue cheese to the saucepan. Season generously with freshly ground black pepper. Reduce heat to low-medium and cook, stirring frequently, for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and smooth.
  3. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Spread 1 pound cooked gnocchi in a large (9x13 inch) baking dish. Arrange 3 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto evenly over the gnocchi.
  4. Pour the blue cheese sauce over the gnocchi and prosciutto.
  5. Sprinkle 1/4 cup breadcrumbs and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbling and the breadcrumbs are golden brown and crispy.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
