Gnocchi - especially fresh - have this toothsome bite to them, that satisfies even meat eaters (I am one of them!). While I will not claim this to be a healthful meal - too much simple carb, and cream and cheese - it is most certainly a wonderful dish. Sometimes you should prepare a wonderful dish to enjoy and keep yourself going. Then you can be good.
1 lb fresh gnocchi (I used Trader Joe’s)
2 Tbsp butter plus 1 Tbsp olive oil
1 cup heavy cream
2 Tbsp snipped chives
1/2 tsp ground coriander
2 Tbsp minced fresh parsley
1/4 lb goat cheese with herbs
Preheat oven to 400F. Melt the butter in the oil in a large non-stick skillet. Add the gnocchi and heat through.
Add the cream and the chives and bring to a gentle boil.
Season with coriander and then salt and pepper to taste. Allow the cream to boil down a bit to thicken up.
Transfer Gnocchi mixture to a medium oiled casserole. Top with the goat cheese and parsley.
Bake for about 20-30 minutes uncovered until brown and bubbly.
Serves 4 as a side dish.
