Directions

Prep 10 minCook 35 min

1
Heat the oven to 375°F. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, cook the gnocchi per package directions, drain well, and spread in a lightly greased 1½‑quart baking dish.
2
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Whisk in the flour and cook until foamy, then slowly whisk in the milk and Dijon until smooth.
3
Simmer, whisking, until slightly thickened, 3–5 minutes. Off heat, gradually stir in the Swiss and Fontina until melted. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
4
Pour the cheese sauce over the gnocchi, sprinkle evenly with Parmesan, and bake until bubbly and lightly golden, about 25 minutes. Rest 5 minutes, then garnish with basil and serve.
