Gnocchi is a wonderful staple for the pantry. It doesn't need refrigeration and can be dressed up a variety of ways. If the electric goes out, and you have a gas stove or camp stove, this is an easy meal. I mention that because in Florida we have hurricane supplies on hand in case you need to hunker down. 👇 This is a stove top meal.
This plated up nicely but take my word for it - Do Not replace goat cheese with Boursin cheese. This turned out so incredibly rich we couldn't eat the leftovers. I ought to have followed the recipe and not substituted! Here is a recipe for the meal but I found the recipe I used in a magazine. Now I can't find the magzine so, can't tell you the publication. This recipe appears to be the same and again...use the goat cheese.
I’d have this for my birthday dinner side dish tomorrow! Looks very healthy
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to you!
DeleteI love the addition of the cherry tomatoes and spinach. Looks so delicious.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Judee. It's super easy to put together.
DeleteI love gnocchi. I've tried the shop bought, but I really like making it as well as eating it. I love the part where they swim up to the top of the simmering water, telling you they're ready. I've made potato ones but I like a cheese filling better. In a hurricane I doubt if I'd be picky though.
ReplyDeleteBoud, I have never tried them with cheese filling. I will look for those!
DeleteDelicious-sounding combination! My main source for gnocchi was Trader Joe’s but they don’t always have it. I love that it’s shelf-stable, though I think it would be hard to prepare in a real power outage.
ReplyDeletebest, mae at maefood.blogspot.com
Mae, in power outages we use a camp stove so I can make use of anything for a skillet or pot. Pasta, rice, gnocchi and things like that.
DeleteLooks delicious! I can see trying this.
ReplyDeleteHappy Labor Day!!!!
Thanks, Greg. You get storms in Michigan so it's a good pantry item for the emergencies :-)
DeleteYum! I love cherry tomatoes so this looks really good to me!
ReplyDeleteI may add mushrooms next time as well as the tomatoes.
DeleteMmmm goat cheese!!! My favorite!!! Could I substitute pasta for the gnocci? I hate the texture of gnocci when I'm chewing it. lol
ReplyDeleteJinjer, I bet you could use penne!
DeleteI like Gnocchi, especially in a rich Bolognese sauce with plenty of Parmesan.
ReplyDeleteShelleyrae, I haven;t had it in Bolognese in ages - great idea!
DeleteThis looks delicious! I like gnocchi but my husband doesn't, so I rarely cook it. Maybe the next time he won't be around at dinnertime...
ReplyDeleteJoAnn, it's such a great staple for hurricane supplies. Doug likes it so we always have some on hand.
DeleteHmmm. Goat cheese sounds delicious to flavor a dish.
ReplyDeleteHarvee, I think so too!
DeleteThis looks amazing! I'm a big fan of gnocchi but had never really thought of it as a good pantry staple. You're so right! It's really unfortunate that the boursin cheese didn't work. This would be a perfect dinner for me when Jason's traveling but I'm allergic to goat milk. I'll need to do some research for a substitute.
ReplyDeleteKatherine, I had to drink goat milk when I was a baby as I was allegeric to cow milk! There is bound to be a substitution which has the proper consistancy yet isn't too rich. I'd like to make it again but not sure what to use for the creaminess.
DeleteThis looks good and I have so many cherry tomatoes and onions from the garden to use! I'm not a great cook so I like easy things to make, Lol. thanks.
ReplyDeleteSusan, this is very easy!!
