Gnocchi from the oven
Well dear busy mums, here is one of the quietest recipes ever -Gnocchi al forno.
My friend came over for a late evening drink, and while the water for the tea was boiling I made a tomorrow lunch for the kids. She could not believe her eyes how quick it was.
Here it is – 5 minute gnocchi 🙂
Putt the frozen gnocchi in the baking tray. In a bowl mix eggs, any kind of cheese you find in the fridge (cottage, feta, cheddar, parmesan …), add some leftovers of ham or sausages – roughly cut. If you have you can add the handful of fresh spinach, season well. Poor on top of the gnocchi and put it in the oven, bake until golden brown.
Let it cool, tomorrow just transfer it to the lunch box, and add some more salad, cut if necessary and here it is.
Couldn’t be quicker.
Enjoy your evening.
“Like a Water for Hot Chocolate” was the first book related to cooking I have read that isn’t a cookbook. It made such an impression on me that I have started observing how my mood while cooking affects those you eat the food I made.
This is a magical and above all a charming story about family life in Mexico.
Tita, the youngest daughter of the house, has been forbidden to marry, condemned by Mexican tradition to look after her mother until she dies. But Tita falls in love with Pedro, and he is seduced by the magical food she cooks.
She is very emotional, lively, sexy and creative and all that’s reflected the dishes she prepares. Her feelings simply flow into her dishes. For example, all the guests got sick after eating the cake that Tita flavoured with her tears. Or everybody who ate Titas chilli began to search for a soulmate.
The film based on the novel was awarded 11 prizes by the Mexican Film Academy.
I warmly recommend you read this book, no matter if you’re 17 or 77 years old. You will enjoy all 12 chapters, each named after a month and beginning by describing a recipe.
