Prepare Gnocchi

Cook Gnocchi

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potato gnocchi and cook until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain.

In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until golden. Gradually whisk in milk, and cook until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.

Add Cheese

Remove from heat and stir in Gruyère and aged white cheddar until melted. Season with salt, black pepper, and nutmeg.

Combine and Serve

Mix Gnocchi with Sauce

Fold the cooked gnocchi into the Mornay sauce until well coated.
