I worked too many hours today in the office. There were too many conversations with answers that said "they drank the kool-aid." There were too much of fixing things because other people did not truly understand. I could have stayed another four hours but I decided to go home after an extra three. I just wanted comfort food like mac and cheese.
But I did I do the simple thing of pulling out pasta and melting cheese and butter with it? Nooooooooo! I make gnocchi from scratch. Cook the gnocchi. Sauté a bit of basil in olive oil. Pine nuts and garlic if you wish. Put in a bowl. Sprinkle with asiago cheese.
My type of comfort food. My type of mac and cheese.
I have probably written this recipe here before but this is really this easy. Even after working an eleven hour day.
gnocchi
2 cups mashed potatoes, prepared for eating
1 cup flour
Mix the potatoes and flour together. Knead until smooth. You may need a bit more flour for the sticky.
Roll out snakes. Cut. Roll with a fork if you want the ridges.
Bring water to boil. Dump in the gnocchi. Pull out when they float.
You can serve them with anything you wish but I was craving mac and cheese.
Smiles.
