Gnocchi With Sun Dried Tomatoes And Chicken Recipes

CREAMY BUTTERY TUSCAN GNOCCHI RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Melt the butter and sauté shallots until transparent, about 2 minutes. Sauté garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Add the gnocchi and let sear in the butter for a minute. Add the sun dried tomatoes and reserved oil. Cook for a further minute to release flavours into the gnocchi.
• Pour in the chicken broth, cream and Italian herbs. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
• Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix everything together and reduce heat to medium. Cover pan with lid and let cook for 5 minutes.
• Stir in the spinach leaves and cook until wilted, about 1 minute.
• Stir through parmesan cheese and chopped basil. Let simmer for a further minute or until gnocchi is soft, cooked through and the sauce has thickened to your liking.
• Season with a little extra salt & pepper, if needed, to suit your taste.
• Serve immediately.*

GNOCCHI WITH SUN DRIED TOMATOES AND CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a large, wide skillet, melt the butter over low heat. Add the onion and parsley and saute over medium heat until the onion turns translucent, about 10 minutes.
• Add the sun-dried tomatoes and the chicken, if using, and saute, stirring often until the chicken colors, about 2 minutes. Add the wine and keep stirring over medium heat until most of it evaporates and the chicken is cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes more.
• Cook the gnocchi as directed above.
• Add the chicken or tomato mixture to the hot bechamel sauce and mix well. Spoon generously over the gnocchi, and serve at once.
