Homemade Gnocchi in a Tomato Blue Cheese Sauce Recipe
We wanted to do something a little different this week. We very rarely do pasta of any kind because hubby tries to avoid carbs as much as possible, but we wanted to try this out and see how it worked, and it worked very well! Also a great way to get rid of some leftovers. Gnocchi are honestly pretty easy to make, it's just a matter of getting the right amount of flour to the amount of potato you're using, and it can vary greatly depending on how dry your flour is, how fresh the potatoes are, or even how humid it is in your kitchen! So, really it's a bit of a "go by feel" thing for the gnocchi.
For the sauce we cooked down the tomato soup recipe we did a while back on our channel, and it made a fantastic sauce. A little dried basil, some sauteed shallot, a dash of Marsala wine, and some blue cheese really added a lot of complexity and richness to an already excellent tomato base. Other things that you could substitute in include fresh basil, vermouth, Tabasco, parmesan, chili flakes, or oregano.
