I posted this video before, but a loooong time ago. It’s one of my favorite vids ever. I still laugh every time I watch it.
I saw a picture of this recipe in a magazine and thought it looked so beautiful.
And I made the recipe and it was beautiful. And incredibly good.
I especially loved how the crisp gnocchi contrasted with the creamy gorgonzola and the sweet tomatoes.
Light and full of fresh ingredients, it’s a perfect dinner (or lunch) on a busy day.
Pan-fried Gnocchi With Peas, Asparagus And Gorgonzola

Mixed herbs, to serve

‘Tidal Wave’ from Chicago-based band The Hush Sound is completely addictive.
Band interests: “Maxin’ and Relaxin’ and we used to like Faxin'”. Cracks me up.
Check out The Hush Sound on the band’s Website, where you can buy their music.
Cheers!
