Skillet Gnocchi Mac N Cheese With Roasted Brussel Sprouts

​


Prep Time: 25 Min

Cook Time: 45 Min

​

1. Preheat the oven to 425 F

 

1. In a medium sized bowl, add the brussel sprouts along with the salt and pepper flakes. Add enough EVOO to toss and coat the sprouts entirely before transferring them to a baking sheet. Bake them for 10 minutes, flip, and continue to bake another 10 minutes until nice and charred on both sides. Remove and set aside until needed.

 

1. As the sprouts cook, begin heating the 3 Tbsp. of butter & 3 cloves garlic in a 12” cast iron skillet set to medium. Once melted and bubbly, stir in the flour, reduce the heat slightly, & continue to stir as the roux bubbles away. Let the roux cook for a minute or two stirring often before slowly whisking in the milk and cream. Return the heat to medium and let that sauce come to a boil. Once boiled, reduce the heat to medium low and add the vegeta, white pepper, cayenne, garlic powder, and nutmeg. Simmer 5 or so minutes until thickened. Turn off the heat and stir in the cheddar, marble cheddar, and grana padano until melted thoroughly. Taste and adjust salt if desired.

 

1. Reduce the oven’s temperature to 375 F

 

1. Add the gnocchi and roasted brussel sprouts to the skillet. Stir until everything is combined and coated in creamy sauce.

 

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the grana Padano, panko crumbs, Italian seasoning, and salt. Add a Tbsp. of EVOO at a time and whisk together until the crumb topping looks moistened and crumbly. Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the skillet.

 

1. Bake uncovered for 25 minutes until bubbly and golden brown on top. If a crispier topping is desired, you can turn the oven to BROIL at 500 F for a minute or so until a nice, crispy crust develops.

 

1. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and grated grana Padano cheese. Serve & ENJOY!
