How to Make Baked Gnocchi With Blue Cheese And Prosciutto Cream Sauce
- In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup heavy cream to a gentle boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
- 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.
- 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.
- Pour the blue cheese sauce over the gnocchi and prosciutto.
- Sprinkle 1/4 cup breadcrumbs and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
- 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
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
