Description
This Creamy Broccoli Cheese Gnocchi is the ultimate cozy comfort food! It's a one pot dinner ready in under 30 minutes and one of my favorite meals in the Fall and Winter months.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup yellow onion, diced
- 2 cups fresh broccoli, washed then chopped into small florets
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 17 ounce package of gnocchi from the pasta aisle
- 3/4 cup chicken stock
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup parmesan cheese, shredded fine from the block
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded from the block
Instructions
- In a large skillet or dutch oven over medium low heat, add in the butter and olive oil. Allow the butter to melt, then toss in onion, broccoli and salt and pepper. Cover and cook for about 6-7 minutes until softened, stirring a few times throughout.
- Toss in the garlic and cook for 60 seconds, then add in the gnocchi. Break the gnocchi apart if needed. It loves to stick together in the package. Pour in the chicken stock and heavy cream. Cover and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring a few times throughout, until the sauce is thickened.
- Toss in the parmesan and cheddar cheese and stir to combine until melted.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- The broccoli should be divided into small florets, so that it can easily cook in the pan.
- Make sure the broccoli and onions are nice and softened before adding in the garlic and gnocchi.
- Shred the cheese from a block so it will melt well in the sauce.
- The gnocchi will cook quickly, 7-8 minutes max.
