    DH used to love Marco Polo Gnocci from our old local pasta place but I have never been able to find a nice Gnocci in store, what brand do you use? Any chance you would like to share the recipe?

    Oooh just thought of another super quick easy meal that we can't eat due to low carb diet - slice some sausages, fry in a pan. Throw in some gnocchi and fry until lightly golden, chuck in a handful of spinach, some salt and pepper (and maybe a dash of worcestershire sauce or similar) stir it all around, pop the lid on for a few minutes till spinach is wilted and serve. Takes under ten minutes from go to woah.

    I get jar of the mushroom and red wine raguletto, throw about 8ish extra mushrooms chopped up in, 250gm of chicken mince and 1/4 of a block of the frozen spinach. serve with pasta and chop with cheese. most of the prep time is just simmerng time. I add the extra veg to pretend it's healthy

    I make awesome omelettes with chopped sundried tomatoes, mushrooms, olives, a little defrosted frozen spinach and a little shredded chicken in. instead of folding them in half i whip them under the grill for a few minutes to set the top! YUM

    Fritatta:

    Saute oinion, garlic and fresh chopped/frozen veg and whatever herbs you want
    Cover with egg and milk mix
    When semi-set transfer to under the grill.
    Done!
    (TO make vegan, use tofu and soy instead of eggs and milk)


    Pasta:

    While pasta is boiling, saute onion, whatever veg you have/want, herbs in olive oil.
    Toss hot drained pasta through veg
    Sprinkle with parmesan to serve.
    All over in 10 minutes!

    Or...

    Takeaway.


    For the kids:
    Baked beans mixed with the small diced brands of frozen veg, scrambled eggs, fruit salad, toast and fruit.
