First, let me apologize for the spotty posting this week and last. Life has been abnormally busy, but things should be back to normal by Thursday. Hopefully, this recipe will make it up to you. This is one of those dishes that is amazingly delicious, yet fairly simple and even fairly quick to make. Now, I did use purchased gnocchi, which definitely helped with the quick and easy part. The homemade cheese sauce is a rich, velvety combination of Gruyere and Manchego cheeses. I only had one pound of gnocchi on hand, but I think I probably had enough cheese sauce for two pounds. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did!
