With the impending blizzard I thought I would put together some food for comfort. The first dish is a favorite, "potato gnocchi". This pasta is made with wheat flour and potato. It's first gently boiled, and when it floats to the top its removed and drained. In a skillet some butter is melted along with olive oil. Then some sage is added along with onion, salt and crushed red pepper. The gnocchi is added and allowed to cook until the edges begin to brown. Then fresh parsley is added. You can grate some pecorino on top, then serve.
Chicken Soup. It does warm those places a steak can't reach. I make enough for at least 3 meals, and by the last one it's perfect.

That looks like some good eating for a cold winter day. We're missing out on the storm here for the most part, hope it doesn't get too bad for you up there.

Hi Alan!
ReplyDeleteSounds good and looks delicious! I like pasta but I prefer grated parmesan on top though. My wife just loves parmesan. You should have seen when we had dinner at an Italian restaurant in Stockholm. She made the waiter get us more parmesan. Well, anyway, looks delicious and I'm glad that I've had my dinner already otherwise it might have been unbearable to see your photos. Thanks for sharing!

ReplyDeleteAwesome looking meals--stay safe up that way, I just saw the ABC News and they had a piece on the Hartford area and its look like you guys are going to get a load of snow with super winds. Sure hope you don't lose power.
