Equipment

  • Measuring Cups and Spoons
  • Knife
  • Cutting board
  • Medium pot
  • Bowls

Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
  • 10 medium yellow onions thinly sliced
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • ¼ cup flour
  • 4 bay leaves
  • 2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce
  • 10 cups boiling water
  • 4 cups fresh or packaged gnocchi
  • 3 cups shredded Italian style cheese or Gruyère

Instructions

  • Add the butter, oil and sugar to a medium sized pot on medium to low heat. Once melted add the sliced onions, salt and pepper and stir.
