Ooh thank you. i'd forgotten that sausage recipe, I've done that before actually. tis a bit too filling for me tonight though I think as have been troughing nuts all day ? vodka one sounds interesting and I think i have all the ingredients - hic! I know, I shouldn't waste my lovely food with him Soaps, but I am on a mission to convert the miserable beggar [work cut out for me icon] ?

I like it with chilli tomato sauce, fresh basil, chunks mozarella then baked in the oven.

Ah, but have you done it with glitter? ?

Another one we do is roasted pepper, tomato and garlic, whizzed up and mixed with cooked gnochhi, with goats' cheese and fresh basil glitter scattered on top. Dead quick and simple. For two I think we use one pepper(chopped into sticks), 2 decent sized tomatoes (quartered) and as much garlic as you can stomach (not peeled), drizzled with OO, roasted for 20 mins at about 180/200C. Squeeze the garlic out of the cases before blitzing.

Blue cheese & walnuts is good. Although it needs to be proper gnocchi and almost snowing for me to enjoy it properly. And then somewhere comfy I can lie down nearby in a cheese & carbs haze after

Im sorry but all Ive got in my mind now is a bowl full of gnocchi with little pairs of jazz hands waving at me.?

Ooh I have a pepper and could get some goats cheese, nice suggestion Flowery thanks!

Lady F, that sounds soooooooooo good if I wasn't on a pretendy diet ?

The pepper and goats cheese one was in a low-fat cook book - though I would imagine that depends on just how much cheese you add ?

This looks lovely too

Hmmm. I vote for serving it how you normally do just when you put it on the table, immediately give it some jazz hands. ?
