It’s been a few years, since I’ve made gnocchi from scratch. Let’s blame it on my missing gnocchi board. A few days after I posted my recipe for Chicken and Gnocchi Soup, a friend shared her grandmother’s recipe for ricotta gnocchi. Finally, I took the time to make the delicious dish.Ricotta Gnocchi

Ingredients:
1 c. ricotta cheese, 1/2 c. fresh grated Parmesan cheese, 1/2 c. flour, 1 egg, 1 lemon, 1/2 tsp. fresh ground sea salt, 1 Tbsp. minced garlic, fresh chopped parsley, fresh chopped parsley, basil, butter, crushed red pepper flakes, fresh cracked tri-color pepper, baby spinach leaves, radicchio, fresh shaved Parmesan

Directions:
Zest and juice lemon. Mix together lemon zest, ricotta, grated Parmesan, flour, salt and egg. Melt butter in skillet over medium heat. Drop spoonfuls of mixture and cook for about 5-6 minutes, turning halfway through. Remove gnocchi from pan and keep warm until ready to serve. Add more butter, lemon juice, parsley, basil, and all pepper to frying pan and sauté. Arrange gnocchi on top of radicchio and spinach. Drizzle with sauce. Sprinkle with fresh shaved Parmesan cheese.

XOXO,

Today I have the urge to bake… and drink a mimosa. Yet I have no eggs, milk or juice in the house and I do not want to run out to the grocery store. I even looked through a few vegan cake recipes. What’s a young wifey to do? Make soup or course!… Then drink the champagne…

Sausage & Gnocchi Soup

Sausage & Gnocchi Soup

Ingredients:

olive oil, 1 lb. ground turkey sausage, 1/2 dice yellow onion, 1 Tbsp. minced garlic, 1 shredded carrot, 2 c. chopped spinach, 2 diced tomatoes, 2 Tbsp. tomato paste, 6 c. chicken or veggie stock, 1 batch of gnocchi, fresh ground sea salt, fresh cracked black pepper, fresh grated pecorino romano cheese

Directions:
At the bottom of a stock pot, sauté onion in olive oil. Add ground sausage and break into small pieces, cook until meat is no longer pink. Add garlic, salt and pepper and cook for a few minutes. Add tomato paste, stock, carrot, tomatoes, and spinach to pot and bring to a boil. Allow gnocchi and simmer for about 4 minutes, or until gnocchi puff and begin to float. Top with fresh grated cheese and serve with hot focaccia bread.

Moral: If life doesn’t give you milk. eggs or juice, make soup! haha

I hope everyone is having a fantastic weekend!
What’s on your stove/in your oven today? 

Chicken & Gnocchi Soup

Autumn is officially here! And with that, soup is officially on my mind. Poor Hubster, he’ll just have to grin and bare it. Chicken & Gnocchi has been on my mind since we went to Olive Garden (last year) and I wanted to try it…. but they were out. So once again, this is not an Olive Garden copy cat recipe. This is my variation of what this yummy soup should be…

Chicken & Gnocchi

Chicken & Gnocchi


Ingredients:

1 cup chicken breasts (cooked and cubed), 2 Tbs. butter, 4 Tbs. flour, 3 c. vegetable or chicken stock, 1 pint of heavy cream, 1 minced garlic clove, 1 c. shredded carrots, 1 c. diced onion, 2 c. fresh baby spinach, 1 tsp. celery seed, 1 Tbsp. parsley, fresh cracked black pepper, fresh ground sea salt

Sauté the onion and garlic in the butter over medium heat until tender. Add the flour and make a roux. Let the butter and flour mixture cook for about a minute before adding heavy cream, carrots and chicken. Once the mixture becomes thick, add the broth. Gnocchi cooks quickly, so cook it now in a separate pot. Once soup has thickened again, add the gnocchi, spinach, and seasoning. Simmer and serve hot.

Serve with focaccia bread and a crisp salad.

What’s on your table tonight???
