Ingredients

• Cooking spray, for ramekins
• 1 (16 oz.) package gnocchi
• 6 oz. fontina cheese, shredded (about 1 1/2 c.)
• 1/2 c. finely chopped ham

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease four 10-ounce ramekins; place on a baking sheet.
2. Combine gnocchi, cheese, and ham in a bowl. Transfer to prepared ramekins, dividing evenly. Whisk together milk, flour, garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper until flour is dissolved, 30 seconds. Pour over gnocchi, dividing evenly.
