What to cook with gnocchi?

[HKmummymoo]

I've never cooked with it before so open to ideas.

I've got some chicken sausages, broccoli and other veg- can I use all together?

8yo ds's favourite meal is gnocchi bolognese. Similar to lasagne but only two layers so bolognese on the bottom and gnocchi in a white/cheese sauce on top, grated cheese on top, baked in the oven. I'm veggie so have an aubergine/pepper/courgette version instead.

Lovely with chicken, artichokes and green pesto

Also good with roasted butternut squash, sage with butter and melted cheese.

I like it roasted in olive oil (thanks Nigella for that one!), or stirred into ratatouille, or with blue or cream cheese and spinach, or with Parmesan and black pepper (in place of spaghetti in cacio e pepe if you have a recipe). Is it fresh gnocchi because the stuff in the dried pasta aisle is rank and will put you off trying it again!

You can use it just like pasta, so I'd cook and chop up the sausages and broccoli and throw it all in with some tomato sauce or pesto.

This is delicious!

I just melt any type of cheese over it with sea salt. Ultimate instant comfort food

Hello fresh have a great recipe that bakes the gnocchi. Yum!

A tin of sardines in tomato sauce and olives. With some crusty bread

I do it in a traybake with shredded ham hock, crime fraiche, mustard and peas. Delicious and really easy

Bacon lardons, roasted Mediterranean veg, pesto and Parmesan. Yum yum...

Realistically you can have it with anything

I roast vegetables add the gnocchi and some tomato, cheese and bake in the oven.

With spinach, chilli, lemon, halloumi and tomatoes is my favourite comfort meal

Traybake with chorizo, tomatoes and mozzarella- such amazing comfort food!

I like it with pesto or tomato sauce and mozzerella. The only shop bought gnocchi I like is the Dell'ugo brand. The others are way too heavy and dense for me. A good gnocchi melts in the mouth.

King prawns, chorizo , spinach and red chill pesto - delicious

Our go to is bacon and mushrooms with some Philadelphia stirred through. Also nice fried with some garlic powder and Parmesan as a kind of potato replacement.

Fry some chorizo. Add black olives & tomatoes. Grated cheese & bake

Fry butter. Add sage leaves & black pepper. Then boil gnocchi and add. Dribble!

Roast it with olive oil a la Nigella.

Can be served with anything that you might serve little roast potatoes with. We often have it with an Italian style meat or chicken casserole.

I do a nice tomato sauce, and add spinach and goats cheese.

Fry Pork strips, add snap peas, stir in whole grain mustard, add cider, stir for a few minutes, add cream then stir in cooked gnocchi

Stealing so many of these recipes, thank you.

Good served with things like bœuf bourguignon, or any rich stew with plenty of gravy, gnocchi cooks very quickly, in just moments, so is very useful as a side dish.
