Description
A cozy and delicious French Onion Gnocchi Bake that combines caramelized onions, creamy sauce, and tender gnocchi topped with melted cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 pound store-bought gnocchi
- 1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion, salt, and sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are caramelized and golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and thyme, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in the beef broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
- Meanwhile, cook the gnocchi according to package instructions until they float to the surface. Drain and set aside.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F.
- In a large baking dish, combine the cooked gnocchi with the onion mixture. Mix well to ensure the gnocchi are evenly coated.
- Sprinkle the Gruyère and Parmesan cheeses evenly over the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- For a vegetarian version, substitute vegetable broth for beef broth.
- Add cooked mushrooms or spinach for extra flavor and nutrition.
