I love the word Gnocchi. I also love the texture of well cooked Gnocchi. If you have experienced thick, tough gnocchi then you have probably eaten an extremely over cooked gnocchi. But if you can get your hands on some freshly made gnocchi and you have 3-4 minutes to watch it cook, removing it just as the gnocchi floats to the surface…then you should definitely have a go at making this.
This recipe is a nice quick and easy meal for a mum to whip up during the week. Remember when you are making meals that it’s okay to pick up things like pre-made gnocchi to make your life a little easier.
No one would question you using your washing machine to making washing easier (no one is popping down to the river these days to beat their clothes on stones). So take a short cut here or there thanks to today’s conviences and make your dinner time run a little smoother.
