I haven't made Gnocchi enough at home. It was one of those dishes I thought would be hard to get perfect. I know, what was I thinking... it's so simple! One I'd only order if out - and it would always be good. But I bought a pack during the weekly food shop, dying to give it a go at home. A mushroom gnocchi recipe top of the list.
I've been pretty bad with cooking in recently. With Chris out of action, and me out for quite a few reviews or away at weekends, my creativity has slipped. We've ordered in twice in the last two weeks (which is usually unheard of), have been out to eat a handful of times and the rest of the time I've opted for something super simple. Think fishcakes, roasted chicken thighs and pasta - all the things which don't need much thought from me.
But cooking is my escape. It's my time to myself. My favourite way to spend 'me' time. I love it and I've really missed it. So with quite a lot on my mind, it was the perfect excuse to get lost with myself in the kitchen. I still had lots to do, so a quick recipe was what I wanted. But something super yummy. This was it.
This isn't the first time I cooked this recipe - it's tweaked from a few weeks ago and a lunch dish I made for myself and one of the girls a little while back. Slowly perfecting the gnocchi game.
This version, my Garlic, Black Pepper Mushroom & Pea Gnocchi recipe is simple but so tasty!
It's a delicious veggie dinner, and even more delightful with a soft-boiled egg atop. That yolk is the one to add an extra sauciness! Plus it adds the protein to the meal which is always needed.
It's light enough, but still a substantial meal which is also what I love about a gnocchi dish. I'm definitely remaking this over and over! I've popped the recipe below - let me know what you think.
Do you make gnocchi? What do you cook with yours?
