Gnocchi with Brussels Sprouts in a Lemon/Garlic Sauce
AKA Half a packet of Store-bought Gnocchi, Half packet of Salami, Brussels Sprouts
What can I make from the fridge without having to go to the store?
This one's a winner.
Serves 2 no problem. 3...well that's another story. Took exactly 25 minutes.
Ingredients
Olive oil
1/2 onion
6 slices of sliced mild salami
30-36 Brussels sprouts
1 garlic clove peeled
1.5 tb butter
1.5 tb flour
1 cup milk
salt
1 tb lemon zest
1 tb mustard
Dash of white wine (optional)
1/2 package of store bought gnocchi
Here we go -
Slice the onion.
Tail the Brussels sprouts
Make the white sauce this way:
Soften the garlic in the butter for about 5 minutes in a small saucepan on medium/low. This will smell GORGEOUS. Smoosh down the garlic with the tines of a fork.
Add the flour. Stir with a wooden spoon until all mixed.
Add a little milk until you have a smooth paste.
Add a dash of salt.
Add the remainder of the milk. Turn up to medium/high stir with your wooden spoon until no lumps remain and the first bubbles appear. Then reduce heat to simmer.
Stir in the mustard and lemon zest. Add a very small splash white wine. Keep saucepan on very low heat. Don't let the sauce boil.
Next, fry the onion and salami in a little oil on a medium heat for 3 or 4 minutes
When the Brussels sprouts have about 4 minutes to go add the gnocchi to the pot. When the 15 minutes is up, drain.
Turn down the onion to low.
This was really good. My guys gave it a 9 out of 10. They raised it to a 9.4 when I made them pasta shells to go with the sauce. My original quantities were not enough for 3.
Next time, what can I create with ground chicken, left over 6-Layer dip and some left-over tomato sauce.
