So i was wondering what to make for dinner. I looked in the pantry and the garden and came up with this. But you can add take away whatever you like. You can use just about anything. Hope you enjoy or this gives you a good idea for. Meal. The family loved it. And you how leftovers are. Yum yum happy cooking

As fun as it it to cook every day, it's nice to take a breather once in a while and find shortcuts to ease the work. That happened this afternoon, as I brainstormed for a way to combine leftover gorgonzola we had in the fridge with some mushrooms a neighbour brought over. It might be because my brain is still in Italian mode (per my last recipe for pasta and chicken), but it occured to me that I could add gnocchi to the mix and eliminate prepping a separate starch dish entirely. And so this gnocchi, mushroom, and blue cheese bake was born. Unlike said previous recipe, this dish wasn't quite as straightforward, but it was equally delicious. Maybe moreso, seeing as my wife helped herself to three servings.

This is one batch of gnocchi, approximately 110 pieces.

something different,yet simple

Gnocchi (pronounced: N’YAW-kee). The...noodle(?) that inspires visions of Italy. Did you know, that in the city of Verona (from where my recipes and my mother originate) there is actually a gnocchi festival? There is a rich history behind this pasta that would surprise you! A story of survival that we as (most) 21st century people couldn't possibly comprehend. But keep in mind that there wasn't always readily available supplies at your local grocer whenever you desired. Check here http://www.veronissima.com/sito_inglese/html/events_carnival_ing.html to learn more.In summary, during a great famine, there was a person who essentially donated his wealth to keep the people of Verona alive with potatoes and flour. Crazy, right? But now this delicious and versatile pasta can be utilized to create a myriad of dishes that not only can keep the peasants alive, but even entertain the pallets of the most auspicious and sophisticated and have them begging for more!I'll post my favorite sauces and link them soon! Stay tuned! Buon appetito, amici miei!
