Double Cauliflower Gnocchi Cheese

By Sunny & LunaPublished on 16 February 2026Sometimes you just need something delicious and comforting, and this recipe gives you just that while being packed with veggies. This is a twist on the classic cauliflower cheese, using the leaves for extra fibre and nutrients, mustard and lemon for a deeper flavour profile, and Sunny & Luna Cauliflower Gnocchi for a double portion of vegetables. It's a simple dinner that feels like a treat but sneaks in those extra greens.

Ingredients

  • 1 small cauliflower, florets broken off and leaves roughly chopped
  • 50g unsalted butter
  • 50g plain flour
  • 500ml milk
  • 100g cheese, grated
  • 2 tsp wholegrain mustard
  • ½ lemon juiced
  • 400g Sunny & Luna Cauliflower Gnocchi
  • parsley, chopped, to serve
  • extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling

Method

  • Step 1

    Heat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6.

  • Step 2

    Bring a pan of salted water to the boil and add the cauliflower and leaves. Boil for 4 mins, then drain.

  • Step 3

    Melt the butter in a pan over a low heat and add the flour. Whisk until a smooth paste is formed. Cook for 2 mins, then add the milk slowly, whisking constantly until the sauce has thickened (usually 3–4 mins).

  • Step 4

    Add half the cheese and the mustard, and whisk until the cheese has melted.

  • Step 5

    In a shallow ovenproof dish, combine the cooked cauliflower, leaves and cauliflower gnocchi. Spread evenly and pour the cheese sauce over the top, then sprinkle with the remaining cheese.

  • Step 6

    Bake in the oven for 20 mins, or until the top is golden and crispy.

  • Step 7

    Serve garnished with parsley and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
