Steam Combi Recipe: Baked Potato Gnocchi in a Blue Cheese Sauce

This is true comfort food. If we had to describe it, we would call it the grown ups equivalent to macaroni cheese. Delicious light fluffy potato gnocchi drowned in a rich creamy blue cheese sauce, with a crunchy parmesan crumb crust.
The great thing is that it can be all done in the Steam Oven with ease.
If you don’t have a steam oven, you can boil large chunks of potato,or bake the potatoes whole and then scoop out;  and you can boil the pasta but make sure you remove the gnocchi from the boiling water as soon as they come to the surface.
