  • We were stuck inside due to bad weather so we decided to make our own potato gnocchi with three different condiments. ALL VERY EASY TO DO!!
    POTATO GNOCCHI FOR 4:
    1 kilo potatoes
    1 egg
    300g flour
    boil the potatoes without peeling them.
    mash them when cooked.
    add flour and 1 beaten egg, also salt and pepper to taste.
    knead ingredients together with your hands until a big ball is formed.
    take pieces and roll into sausages, then cut them into gnocchi sized pieces.
    There you have your gnocchi !
    Tomato sauce:
    squash a garlic clove and heat in a pan with olive oil.
    add a tin of canned tomatoes and leave to simmer for 10-15 mins, add salt to taste.
    add gnocchi to sauce and then mozzarella cut in cubes.
    Cheese sauce:
    same as any bechamel sauce, but use goats cheese and parmesan.
    Pesto sauce:
    buy it! (put a tiny bit of pasta water to make creamy)

    I know everyone teases you Carlo on your English but I have nothing but praise for you for keeping at it. It’s not an easy language and has so many “rules” that don’t make sense. I was not blessed with the gift of language and struggled all through school to pass my foreign language classes. I later found out I actually had a processing learning disability that made it nearly impossible for me to learn a new language and retain it. I never struggled with learning anything in my native language but throw in a new one and it was the greatest struggle. I commend you for continuing to learn and improve no matter how long it takes.

    Hi Nicki, I was lucky enough to discover you two months ago on a road trip. Since then I’ve watched hours a day as I cook around the clock during the winter for my family who is home during covid. I’m an Aussie expat living in Kentucky. The blue sea and the pink flowers, your vegetable garden, Holly, your gorgeous daughter and Carlos. What a smile he has. He has such a gentle joyful way about him. I look forward to your videos each day.
    You mentioned last summer at a winery with your friends that you hadn’t had wine in 900:days. You might have talked about it in a video, I’m making my way through them all. But If it’s not too personal, would you talk about your decision to not drink anymore? I watch how you are cooking in the evenings, relaxing with your family, meeting friends out for drinks. You seem very relaxed and happy not drinking. I’m not a bad drinker, but I do drink in the evenings when I cook and relax. I find it so difficult to separate wine, cooking and evenings. But I’d like to stop and feel better. If these things were difficult for you, not sure that they were at all, do you have any words of wisdom as to how you got back to cooking and relaxing in the evenings, going out with friends, without it. I apologies if this is too personal a question. Thanks for all you do. I know it’s a lot of work. You’re bringing a lot of people joy.
    Cheers
    Heather

    I have always loved gnocchi. I love to mix ricotta cheese and red sauce and sprinkle Italian cheese on top. You are all a very warm family. I am Italian, born in NY and grew up in Miami, Florida. My dad was a very good cook and we always had a Italian dinner on Sundays. He made the best sauce and while it was cooking we would take a piece of Italian bread and dip it in the sauce.

  • @nancyfielden270
    @nancyfielden270 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi Nicki, for bread try a no knead recipe and be sure to add 5 g olive oil for every 100 g flour. It will keep the bread tender and act as a preservative. Store the bread in the microwave while you are not using it. I place mine in a plastic bag, leave it open and put cut side down. It will keep for about a week without going stale. Hope that inspires you.
