My kids love pasta nights. Whenever I make this Fettucine Alfredo, Creamy Spinach Pasta, or Penne Arrabiatta they finish their meal in no time. Summer is here, which means school holidays, more outside playtime, and less time in the kitchen. We all need a quick dinner recipe to get through the week. Something that everyone in the family eats including the kids. This creamy tomato sauce gnocchi recipe is making rounds on our dinner table more than often now. It is as easy as cooking any pasta and a great way to add variety to your weekly menu.
If you are clueless about what gnocchi is then let me give you a gist about it. Gnocchi is not pasta but small dumplings made from potatoes. It originates from Italy, so many people think it is pasta. I love how gnocchi is as versatile as pasta. That means you can cook it in your favorite sauce or even pan-fry it with oil, garlic, herbs, and cheese. It mainly uses potatoes, eggs and needs very little flour to bind it. There are many egg-free gnocchi options available in the stores that can make your meal a breeze to cook and you save $$ that you would otherwise spend in a restaurant.If you have never tried gnocchi then this recipe is a good starting point. You should make it as soon as possible. These pillowy soft dumplings coated in a creamy sauce are sure to be your favorite comfort food.
Creamy Tomato Sauce Gnocchi for a win
This vegan gnocchi recipe uses less than 5 ingredients and just 20 minutes from pan to table. Just boil, toss, and done! Did I mention how flexible this recipe is??? You can add more or less sauce, add less cream, or completely avoid it, throw in some veggies and cheese. Add in some herbs or even chili flakes for heat. A perfect impromptu meal that you can make in a pinch.
Time and again we all need a break from cooking from scratch. I do not feel guilty about using store-bought sauces or products that make my life easier. Seriously, there is so much to do at home apart from cooking. Just select quality products and you are good to go! Hope you like my quick weekday recipe and give it a try as well.
