Gnocchi Mac n'cheese

How on earth did I not think of this before?! Seriously, if there is a Mac and Cheese guru, it is me. I have a major obsession (confession: even with boxed mac and cheese!) with this comfort food. I have tons of recipes if you click here, you can try them all! I think in the future I will do a tutorial on mac and cheese. They beauty is you can completely change the flavor just by switching up your cheese choice. Yum Yum. This particular meal was so amazing. You can purchase gnocchi at any major grocery store in the pasta isle. Try it if you never have before, you are really missing out.

Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Whisk in flour until it thickens and bubbles, then whisk in milk and mustard. Continue to whisk mixture and cook until slightly thickened, about 3-5 minutes.

Combine cheeses, then add by the handful to milk mixture, stirring until melted before adding the next handful. Once all cheese is melted, season sauce with salt and pepper.
