Last night I was ruminating about what to have, kind of over crackers and cheese with an apple, or my nightly spinach banana smoothie. Wanted something hot and freshly cooked but fast and easy.
I had Pasta Shop uncooked gnocchi in the fridge, some already cooked pancetta, and a nugget of St. Andre…so I figured why not? I boiled the gnocchi and once it was cooked drizzled with olive oil and threw the nugget of cheese in the pot. Covered it with a lid for about 30 seconds to melt the cheese, stirred it around, crumbled the pancetta in, added some cherry tomatoes, ladled some into a bowl, topped with parmesan cheese and enjoyed it with a cold glass of Vin d’Orange that my friend Kim made. It was quite the fancy schmancy quick meal, and it hit the spot.[/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column][fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″ background_position=”left top” background_color=”” border_size=”” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” spacing=”yes” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” padding=”” margin_top=”0px” margin_bottom=”0px” class=”” id=”” animation_type=”” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_direction=”left” hide_on_mobile=”no” center_content=”no” min_height=”none”][fusion_title size=”2″ content_align=”left” style_type=”default” sep_color=”” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”” class=”” id=””]Recipe[/fusion_title][fusion_text]
1 pkg. gnocchi

Boil the gnocchi according to package directions, drain and return to the pot. Add the olive oil and stir slightly. Add the St. Andre, cover with a lid and let sit about a minute until the St. Andre has melted. Once melted, stir gently to combine. Add the pancetta and tomatoes, taste and season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. It’s important to taste it first since both the pancetta and St. Andre can be salty.
Divide into serving bowls, top with parmesan cheese and serve.
This makes two large portions or three less large portions.[/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]
