Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to GRILL.
  • In a small saucepan, steam the broccoli for 3 to 5 minutes or until cooked but still crisp. Rinse thoroughly with cold water to stop cooking and drain. Set aside.
  • In a large pot filled with boiling salted water, cook the gnocchi according to package directions. Pour into a colander, rinse thoroughly under cold water and drain. Set aside.
  • In the same saucepan heated over medium heat, add the leek, garlic, sausage, ham, add a good drizzle of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, for 7 to 8 min.
  • Add the butter and melt while stirring. Add the flour, mix and cook for 2 minutes, stirring.
  • Add the milk, wine, Italian spices and whisk to break up any lumps. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring, 4 to 5 minutes or until the sauce thickens slightly.
  • Remove from the heat, add the cheddar and mix to melt. Add the gnocchi and broccoli and mix gently.
  • Pour into a large baking dish and place the raclette cheese slices on top. Place in the oven and bake for 2 to 3 minutes or until the cheese is golden brown! Let stand 5 minutes before eating.
