Greek style gnocchi

This has become a new favourite way to eat gnocchi. We love it in the more traditional Italian style too but sometimes it’s nice to have a change.

Although this is good by itself or with a simple salad, it’s also great as a side dish alongside lamb steaks.

- Finely chop a red onion and 2 or 3 large cloves of garlic and fry them in a table spoon of good olive oil
- Finely chop a variety of herbs… we use basil, thyme, chives and oregano, and add them to the onion and garlic once they have softened.
- Add a large table spoon of soft cream cheese to the pan and mix well, add salt and pepper at this stage. You could use feta instead of the cream cheese.
- Leave the cheese, herb, garlic and onion mix on a low heat whilst you cook a pack of gnocchi in boiling salted water which will take around 3-5 minutes to cook.
- Add the cooked gnocchi to the cheese and herbs and stir through so that the gnocchi is well coated. Serve immediately.
