Gnocchi with Kale & Brussel Sprouts

I love everything about this dish. It’s especially delicious on a cold winter’s night. Mmmm…

INGREDIENTS

1 ½ cups Gnocchi
2 2/3 cups Curly Kale chopped
1 ¾ cups Brussel Sprouts2 tbsp Butter
3 cloves Garlic peeled and crushed
2 Tbsp flour
1 cup Milk
2 ¾ oz Cheddar Cheese grated
1 ¼  cups Mozzarella
1.5 oz Parmesan grated

DIRECTIONS

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.  Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Add the sprouts and boil for 5 minutes. Add the gnocchi and kale and cook for another minute.  Drain and return to the pan.

• Meanwhile add the butter to another saucepan over a medium heat. Once melted add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the flour followed by the milk and salt and pepper to taste. Whisk to get rid of any lumps then bring to the boil and cook until thickened. Turn off the heat and add the cheddar, stir through until melted.

• Pour the cheese sauce over the gnocchi and vegetables, stir through. Tip into a baking dish and tear over the mozzarella followed by the grated parmesan. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes
