Notes
- Other Veggies -instead of broccoli why not try brussel sprouts or cauliflower? You could also choose purple sprouting broccoli or even mixed veggies.
- No Gnocchi- swap the gnocchi for white beans , or add them to the gnocchi to extend the recipe!
- Spicy- mix a generous amount of gochujang sauce in with the cheese sauce, or just add an extra sprinkle of chili flakes.
- Gluten Free- Choose gluten-free gnocchi (or make your own) in place of regular gnocchi which although made with potatoes, often contains wheat flour. (also choose gluten free breadcrumbs to go on top!)
