spicy gnocchi + cheese sauce

homemade gnocchi fried in olive oil, chilli powder and turmeric powder flic.kr/p/2r99BNo mixed with cheese sauce

 

first attempt at gnocchi with thanks to 222LOLA for the suggestion

i should have cut the pieces smaller and more uniform

it tasted ok but next time i'll use a different potato and reduce the flour

i should have used a russet potato.

it's high in starch and low in moisture making gnocchi with a lighter and fluffier texture.

the more water a potato contains, the more flour needed to soak it up, and the more flour added, the denser the gnocchi will become.

my gnocchi was dense for that reason

i'll have another go next week but this time with the russet potato or a potato that has similar properties such as a maris piper :)

Michael Mosley investigates how cooking from scratch can be a simple way to eat healthier and avoid ultra-processed foods, many of which are associated with an increased risk of diseases like cancer, type 2 diabetes and heart disease. It doesn’t need to be complicated - simple recipes using tinned and frozen foods can be a great way to get started. Michael speaks to Dr Emily Leeming, a nutrition scientist from King's College London, to find out why cooking your own meals can be so beneficial for your gut microbiome, your waistline and your mental health. Meanwhile, our volunteer Richard cooks up a storm!

ps i'm not recommending any of these cookery adventures. they suit my personal taste. photographing to encourage myself to eat more healthily ...

 

i've created a group www.flickr.com/groups/cooking_is_my_hobby/ to gather ideas and encourage myself to continue with healthy eating by learning from others if you're interested in cooking, sometimes or a lot, or enjoy the cooking of others, you're always welcome ...
