What is going to be on the table tonight.

Tonight, bone in strip steaks and baked potatoes. Potatoes are about done, because of the rain I am doing the tried and true cast iron steak method. Just waiting for the cast iron skillet to get to 500 degrees.

Wow, it has been a while since I made scratch Gnocchi. Forgot what a time consuming job it was to get those little buggers made. All the ingredients are ready for the toasted walnut, Porcini mushroom Alfredo sauce. Time to go get dinner started.

Hmm. Didn't know about this thread. I love gnocchi. Did something similar last Sunday. Cheated and used store bought gnocchi and Alfredo sauce, though. I was being lazy. It was delicious. How did yours turn out?

If I may ask, how do you make your gnocchi? The recipe I've been using for years calls for ricotta cheese.

I like playing gnocchi ball

Tonight made a roasted pork tenderloin with mashed sweet potatoes and some take and bake rolls.

gnocchi
2 potatoes peeled
2 cups AP flour
1 egg
1/2 cup fresh chopped basil (optional)

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Peel potatoes and add to pot. Cook until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes. Drain, cool and mash with a fork or potato masher.
2. Combine 1 cup mashed potato, flour and egg in a large bowl. Knead until dough forms a ball. Shape small portions of the dough into long "snakes". On a floured surface, cut snakes into half-inch pieces.
3. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Drop in gnocchi and cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until gnocchi have risen to the top; drain and serve.

Alfredo
1/4 cup butter

1 cup heavy cream
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 1/2 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese (as fine as your grater allows)
1 Tbs mascarpone cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

1. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium low heat. Add cream and simmer for 5 minutes, then add garlic and cheese and whisk quickly, heating through. Stir in parsley and serve.
