Eat! | Tomato, Spinach & Mascarpone Gnocchi

So, here goes the first ever VeggieLand (VL) Adventures recipe – which, as such, had to pay tribute to two of my favourite ingredients: potatoes and cheese. Despite the lack of a picture, let me say I did try this @ home and have to tell you it turned out pretty amazing. Scrumptious and hearty and…totally a comfort food favorite… 🙂 Give it a chance. I think you’ll be happy you did…Personally I’ll give it 4.5/5 stars. Ingredients 500 g pack ready-made gnocchi 350 g jar tomato pasta sauce 100 g spinach , washed 250 g tub mascarpone 50 g parmesan or Grana Padano cheese Cook the gnocchi according to packet instructions and drain. Meanwhile, heat the tomato sauce in an ovenproof dish and add the spinach, stirring until wilted. Add the gnocchi, season and spoon blobs of mascarpone over. Scatter with shavings of parmesan or Grana Padano and grill until bubbling and golden.
