Gnocchi With Sage & Sun-dried Tomato Butter


Two blogs in one day today! Its my night off cooking tonight and from tomorrow night my friend Ashleigh is here so I don't think I will be able to get any more blogs done before Sunday evening. But don't worry, I am catering for a Halloween party on Friday so there will be lots of party food recipes going up soon! I spent a large proportion of my day searching the supermarkets in Venice for jelly and red food colouring - haven't managed to find any yet, but I have found cherry syrup which is the ideal blood colour for my Halloween cocktails!

I am dressing up, I didn't bring any costumes with me but I thought I would work some magic with make up and create an Ice Queen costume. I have been informed, that I sometimes I come across as having an icy personality (basically a more polite way of saying I have an attitude problem - so thanks Jamie) but I'm using it to my advantage. I have forced my flat to dress up as well and between the four of us and Ashleigh (who is not one to shy away from a theme either) we are going to look spooktacular...

Serves 4
Ingredients:
2 Packs Gnocchi
1 Handful Sun-dried Tomatoes (Finely Chopped)
6 Large Sage Leaves (Finely Chopped)
2 Cloves Garlic (Finely Chopped)
100g Butter
1 Large Handful Grated Parmesan

Boil some salted water and add the gnocchi. Whilst the gnocchi is cooking, melt the butter with the sage, sundried tomatoes and garlic. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Once the gnocchi is done (when it starts to float) drain and add to the butter. Allow the gnocchi to soak in the sauce before covering with the parmesan cheese.

Gnocchi is very filling, much like risotto it never looks like it will fill you up, but it does believe me!
