Spinach & broccoli Gnocchi; This easy and delicious dish includes spinach and broccoli gnocchi in an absolutely stunning garlic cream sauce. It's silky, smooth, and absolutely drool-worthy. In addition, it is the perfect comfort food for chilly nights or gloomy days.
The weather has been quite weird this year, and most of the time, the days are quite cold and gloomy. These days, I am craving for some sunlight and the need for some sunshine is urgent.
When we moved to Charlotte a few years back, the man of the house was very happy to live in a warmer climate as he was excited that he wouldn't have to shovel snow.
Honestly, the kids and I miss the snow. The first snow is always special and looking back, we miss those snow days and hot chocolate.
This year, the winter has been torturous. It's cold, there's no snow, and it is not at all pleasant.
Lately, Friday lunches are always short cut and kid-friendly. Both of us parents eat only in the evenings and for that, I always keep the lunch simple.
Don't you enjoy Friday evenings? Most of the time, our Friday dinner is a comforting and elaborate Indian meal. We love to sit back and enjoy. With the kids being at home and the online school life hectic, we need a few moments of fun in-between.
Also, have you ever tasted Gnocchi? Our family and I just love these soft pillowy dumplings and I usually cook them on hectic days.
These are pasta made of potatoes and their texture is super soft. Cooked into this garlic cream sauce, they taste super delicious. I have also used some spinach and broccoli for the added green effect.
