I had a bit of pasta dough left over from Sunday's feast, so I tried my hand at making gnocchi shapes, which we didn't get to practice in class.

Not perfect, but not a bad first attempt. Especially since I made them with a fork and not a fancy gnocchi maker. They tasted even more wonderful than they looked.






I cooked them up and tossed them with some warmed olive oil that contained garlic and some sage from the garden. The best lunch I've eaten in ages (which isn't a hard feat considering most days at work I eat some peanut butter crackers or pretzels for lunch). I said to Kevin that I could eat gnocchi with garlic and oil for every meal from now until eternity. Yes it was that good!



I've already made another dough to make some more delicious home-made pasta. That cooking class was some of the best money I've ever spent. Now which class to take next...
