Baked Gnocchi with Broccoli Rabe and Fol Epi®
  • 1 bunch (1 lb.) broccoli rabe, cut into 1" pieces
  • 1 pkg. (1 lb.) potato gnocchi (vacuum packed, frozen or fresh)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth or water
  • 1 1/2 tsp. grated lemon zest
  • 1/4 tsp. black pepper
  • 10 oz. Fol Epi® cheese, rind removed and shredded (about 2 1/2 cups)
  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Generously butter a 1 1/2 quart shallow au gratin or baking dish.
  2. In a Dutch oven, bring 4 quarts salted water to a boil. Add broccoli rabe; return to a boil and cook 2 minutes. Add gnocchi and cook an additional 2 minutes (or as package directs). Thoroughly drain broccoli rabe and gnocchi in colander, then turn into baking dish.
  3. In a small bowl, combine cream, broth, lemon zest and pepper. Pour over gnocchi mixture; top with cheese.
  4. Bake 10 minutes or until bubbling. If desired, broil for 2-3 minutes or until lightly browned. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
