Gnocchi with Fontina Cheese Sauce

It's recipe swap time and I got Gnocchi with Fontina Sauce from Cookaholic Wife's blog. It was deeeeeeeeeeelicious!! Seriously, it taste like what I get from my favorite Italian restaurant. Next time I make it I want to crisp the gnocchi a bit before I add the cheese sauce.

Gnocchi:

Ingredients:
1 lb. baking potatoes
1/2 - 3/4 cup flour
1 egg, beaten
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tbs. milk

Directions:
1. Bring pot of water to a boil. Peel potatoes and cut them into cubes. Add them to the pot of boiling water and cook till soft.
2. Once the potatoes have cooled enough to handle, put into a medium bowl and mash with the milk.
3. Add the egg and salt and stir with a fork until combined. Start with the 1/2 cup of flour and use your hands to combine until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too sticky to work with, add additional flour.
4. Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for a few minutes. Roll the dough into long 1/2 inch wide rolls.
5. Cut the dough into 1/2" pieces and dip in remaining flour, shaking off the excess.
6. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Place a dish towel over a wire rack.
7. Using a slotted spoon, drop batches of the gnocchi into the boiling water, making sure not to crowd the pot. Once the gnocchi float, about 2-3 minutes, remove with the spoon and transfer to the dish towel. Let drain before serving.

Fontina Cheese Sauce

Ingredients:
6 tbs. unsalted butter
2 tbs. shallots, minced
1/2 cup heavy cream
7 oz. Fontina cheese, shredded
3 tbs. grated Parmesan cheese
1 tbs. fresh oregano, chopped

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to *broil*. Heat a medium saucepan over medium-high heat.
2. Add the butter and shallots and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the butter is melted and the shallots are soft.
3. Stir in the heavy cream and heat to an almost boil. Gradually mix in the Fontina cheese and Parmesan cheese, stirring until the mixture is smooth.
4. Remove immediately from the heat.
5. Serve the cheese sauce over the gnocchi. Garnish with oregano.
6. Place in oven and broil till cheese is brown.
