Plein Temps Tout?

Roughly translates as 'full time everything!' Leading such a busy life, like so many of us. It's easy to fall into the trap of convenience over quality. But ready meals, sauces in jars and processed food always tasted a bit naff to me. Now cooking from scratch is a big part of my home life and I'm always out to convert people who think they can't, for a number of reasons. I'm always inspired to try new ideas and flavours, and when things work I'll put them on here, alongside some classics of course!

Its a roast poatato, its a chip, it's a Crispy Gnocchi!

This is possibly a Nigella idea or another TV cook/chef (I watch so many!!) I adopted a while ago. Very true to the blog, fast tasty and great value!

 Gnocchi!?

 Gnocchi are little italian potato dumplings, which are very nice cooked quickly in a pan (the way you would fresh pasta) and tossed in some tasty pesto. 
But for when you're not feeling quiet so virtuous and craving something crispy on the outside and soft in the middle, there is another way...

 Heat a good slosh of olive oil in a frying pan and add a big handful of gnocchi per person. Keep stirring around with the pan hot and add what ever seasoning/flavouring you like. I personally like garlic powder and dried rosemary. Stir until they have all turned a nice golden colour and then eat them whilst they're still hot!

 We had some last night with steak and salad. Lovely!

A great store cupboard standby, I used half a vacuum pack I got from the supermarket for less than 70p.
Enjoy!
