July Cooking Challenge Week 3

Week 3:
Challenge: Pasta - Fried Gnocchi
Level: Ridiculously Easy
Food Photography: Easy (because I didn't try)
Result: 10/10 Delicious - What a nice surprise!

Main:

I don't fry food as I prefer to bake it - not because it is the healthier alternative (that's the bonus) but because I hate splashy oil and I prefer to bake food in the oven and get on with other thins in the meantime.

I have only ever eaten gnocchi once in my life, so I thought this was a fun challenge to try.

I served the gnocchi with chicken schnitzel and mushroom sauce along with minted peas. 
I was so excited about eating these delicious little balls of golden heaven that I forgot to take more than one quick snap. (The trick is to fry them until they are really crispy)

I think this was the easiest cooking challenge so far (but looking at the next challenge... I shouldn't become too complacent!)

  1. Ah man this looks so good! I am definitely going to get some gnocchi and try this soon.
    The Chocolate Truffle Tart looks like a really challenge. I am trying it on Sunday

  2. I think I might try this - and I know this sounds stupid, but the mushroom sauce is putting me off a little . . . I detest mushrooms. I can't even eat mushroom soup, it's that bad. Still, you never know!
