These gnocchis are simply amazing. Comforting and tasty, cheap and cheerful. This is one of my favourite ways to prepare gnocchis.
If you’ve never heard of gnocchis, it’s very simple, they are a mix of potato and wheat dumpling. Like a more satisfying, slighly chewy pasta.
This gnocchis recipe makes enough for two and takes 15 min to cook including prep time.
Ingredients:

Method:

- You know they’re done once they float on they start floating up.
- Drain them.
- Now that your sauce is a bit cooler mix in your creme fraiche and season with a bit of salt. As the sauce isn’t too hot, the creme fraiche shouldn’t split.
