Vixtress Hi - what is your recipe for Moroccan chicken, please also Joey can I have the Gnocchi recipe please with bacon and cheese- is that potato gnocchi?

joey_2

Welcome to the boards Mrs. Toxy! And hi Patchwork cat, here's the gnocci recipe, haven't tried it yet - sounds dead easy though (as it needs to be for me!).

140g smoked streaky bacon, 250g tub mascarpone, 100g medium flavoured soft cheese such as dolcelatte, 5 sliced spring onions, 400g pack potato gnocci, 225g bag baby spinach.

Cook bacon till crispy, drain on kitchen paper, spoon mascarpone into large deep pan, add the blue cheese and spring onions and leave to melt over medium heat stirring occassionally. Cook the gnocci according to pack instructions until they rise to surface. Add spinach to cheese mixture and stir until wilted. Crumble in half the bacon, drain the gnocci and stir into cheese mixture then crumble over remaining bacon.

Got from EasyCook magazine (my new favourite!) thought I'd try it on my dd's trying to widen their variety of foods.

Mrs. Toxy - I'd love to have your cheese, leek, ham and gnocci bake recipe if that's poss please?

I know you asked for Joeys, but it sounds similar to mine so am posting the recipe. It's from a Sainsbury's magazine and feeds four (or me and a greedy OH).

1 pack potato gnocchi
2 leeks
100g ham or bacon
approx 300g cheese sauce
parmesan
thyme
breadcrumbs.

chop leeks and cook until soft. fry off bacon if using. cook gnocchi as packet instructions. Mix leeks, gnocchi, cheese sauce and ham in a baking dish. Mix parmesan, thyme and breadcrumbs and scatter over the top. Bake for 25 mins or so until golden at about 180 C.

Hope this helps
