It's like try before you buy thing.Really!So we visiting library regulars.My personal favorite would be craft and cooking books,love them!
So,me and my DD (darling daughter) loves Gnocchi! And when I say love,I mean adore! That melt in your mouth sensation!You know what I'm talking...
OMG, you can just say we are food people.
we being wanted to have a go at making gnocchi forever...So,finally,today we did it!YES!! I found an easy to make recipe in 'Tobie Puttock"Daily Italian"
We differed from the sauce recipe and made a totally different sauce with mushrooms, onion, garlic, thyme and cream- all of them are my favourite ingredients!
And so it goes:
Make the Gnocchi according to the recipe in the book
THE SAUCE:
2 medium onions,thinly sliced
2 cloves of garlic,thinly sliced
6-7 sprigs of Thyme,finely choped
2Tbsp of olive oil
30g butter
1 tub of Philadelphia Cooking Cream
About 500-600grams of your favourite mushrooms thinly sliced.
Heat oil in the pan and fry onion till soft and just about to caramelize, add garlic. Cook for about a minute or till you smell the flavor (it's just the best!)
Add the butter and thyme and after about 2-3mins add the mushrooms.
Saute them for a few minutes with no lid and then put the lid on the pan and sauté everything until the gnocchi is done. (6-7mins)
As the gnocchi floats to the surface of your pot, fish them out with a slotted spoon and put them in the pan containing the sauce. Coat them lightly with the sauce until all of the gnocchies are cooked. Toss everything for a minute or so and serve immediately with a generous sprinkle of Parmesan.
Red wine is a must! I like Lambrussco Red.
And the verdict is...absolutely delicious!!!
