FRESH GNOCCI & GORGONZOLA.. Are on her list.

Who likes gnocci? Who lkes gorgonzola? Who has ever thought of putting them together? Not her!

She hadn't ever thought of doing that but it was suggested to her the other day and as she's going to be in Borough Market tomorrow morning before she plunders Damas Gate with Myra in the afternoon, she'll get some of this famous and delicious cheese from Jumi Cheese.

You need to buy:

500g of Gnocchi - for 4 people.
3 tbs of Olive Ol.
1 Garlic clove, crushed, then chopped.
80g of Gorgonzola.. crumbled into small pieces.
200g of skinny green Beens.. chop them into quite small bits.
Rocket - about 100g, tear this into sprigs.
Fresh black pepper to grind.
2tbs of toasted Pine Nuts. (And now you know why she's going to Nutcase!)

How to do it:

Cook the gnocchi in salted boiling water for about a minute.
Add the beans and cook for a further two minutes.
In a saucepan, slowly heat the oil and add the garlic.
Cook this gently for about a minute.. DON'T LET IT BURN, GET BROWN OR BITTER!
Remove from heat and set aside.
Drain the gnocchi and beans into a large serving bowl.
Stir in the garlicy oil and lots of freshly ground black pepper.
Pile the rocket on top of the gnocchi and put the gorgonzola on top.
Scatter on the pine nuts and toss everything together.

This dish is quick, smells great, tastes fabulous, is a quick starter OR a light supper for two people.

As she'll have a tub of Selina or Michael's Malaysian noodles when she's at Borough, she's promised we'll have noodles this weekend too, there's a dish she does with finely cut beef and green beans, she uses spicy Schezuan peppers and it's truly tasty.

We will have it for supper on Sunday, I'll give you the recipe tomorrow morning to give you time to get the ingredients.

Now it's time to play chase the mandarine slice and catch the walnut.. and.. is it just me, or is January whizzing by? It's already the 15th!

GeeGee Parrot.
