I made a stunning roast pumpkin pasta sauce once. Some of the pumpkin I puréed and some I left chunky. It also had garlic and cream in it. It was yummy
fry off some garlic and finely diced onion in butter add in some finely diced capsicum, shallots, then pour cream in the pan, season to taste wait until it starts to thicken, take off the heat and it will continue to thicken. I often add in a few tablespoons of Mersey valley spreadable cheese for a nice pop of taste.
Ingredients
For the cheese sauce
25g/1oz unsalted butter
½ onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, chopped
50ml/2fl oz white wine
200ml/7fl oz double cream
100g/3½oz Pont l’Evêque cheese, chopped
salt and freshly ground black pepper
For the gnocchi
150g/5½oz ready-made gnocchi, cooked according to packet instructions
1 tbsp olive oil
salt and freshly ground black pepper
Preparation method
For the cheese sauce, heat the butter in a frying pan over a medium heat and fry the onion and garlic until soft.
Add the white wine and simmer until reduced by half. Add the double cream and simmer gently.
Stir in the cheese, season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper and warm through until the cheese has melted.
For the gnocchi, place the gnocchi into a serving bowl and drizzle with oil. Season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper and stir.
To serve, pour the sauce over the gnocchi.
I sometimes use the following with pasta for a quick meal, and there’s no reason it wouldn’t work with gnochi … 200 gm container of Tzatziki dip, mixed with a dash of tabasco sauce. Simple and tasty. I chop a couple of spring onions into the mix, and some grated Parmesan cheese. You could add a little tuna, cooked chicken or bacon too.
Carbonara sauce is good and I just dined at a restaurant last week and they served duck on top and the sauce was a gravy flavoured with a wine which was very nice. You can also add a bulgarian feta with onion and bacon which is delish
