Miss Marple Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 On a whim, I picked up pre-made gnocchi in the homemade noodle section. I've never had this before. How do I serve it? I'm trying to broaden the boys' culinary tastes.:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E_Edgerton Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 First pan sear some chicken breast in a little olive oil. Then in the same pan pan sear some onion, garlic, and red pepper. Then in a saucepan heat some heavy cream, 1-2 tablespoons of ricotta, 1/4 parm, minced garlic, and about a tablespoon of butter till thick and aromatic. I then drop the gnocchi. Once the gnocchi is done (floating) drain and toss with the pan seared veg. the chicken (sliced) and the cream sauce. Finish with a little fresh basil and more parm. So wonderful!

LaxMom Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I like mine in spicy red sauce. :drool5: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amira Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 You can just serve it with a simple marinara sauce. My husband ate lots of gnocchi in Uruguay (many Uruguayans are of Italian descent) and generally it was served that way. Just a side note- in Uruguay and other South American countries it is traditional to serve gnocchi on the 29th, so today is a great day to eat it.

Miss Marple Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 OK, looks like I'm going to have to try various versions. It all sounds delicious. And to think I bought the right food on the right day - how cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paz Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 This is how my Italian grandmother made it: Brown onions and a little garlic in a pan with butter and olive oil. Add to gnocchi along with parmesan. It is amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melinda in VT Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 It's good with pesto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracey in TX Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 It's a simple pasta. Serve it as you would any basic spaghetti: 1. olive oil 2. butter 3. parmesan 4. pesto 5. salt and pepper 6. tomato sauce 7. ranch dressing (questionable, and certainly not authentic!) 8. garlic We like to each ours with olive oil or butter, garlic, s&p. mmm, bene Mange!
