Gnocchi Mac ‘n Cheese – the traditional and popular recipe is paired with gnocchi and makes this comfort food even better!
I love all things Mac and cheese!
And after trying Gnocchi in Vodka Sauce at a local restaurant,
I fell in love with these little potato dumplings.
I decided to try two of my favorite foods together
and created this Gnocchi Mac ‘n Cheese.
It was hit.
The toasted panko topping really added that extra kick.
I used pre-made gnocchi
cook according to package directions
toast panko in 1 T butter or olive oil
make the cheese sauce and combine with gnocchi
top with toasted panko

My daughter (who came home from college for the weekend) was just saying she wanted some “real” mac and cheese ….. this looks even better. I am going to have to try this one (of course I have everything BUT the gnocchi)
