20.03.11 ~ I cooked Bacon spinach quiche + Nachos + Mushroom cheesy white sauce with spinach gnocchi

Spinach gnocchi (for two ppl)

• 2 potatoes : steamed, peeled and smashed
• All purposes flour 2 cups (can be more)
• 1 egg
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup spinach (frozen or fresh) steamed, chopped and drained

Cheesy white sauce

• 2 tbs margarine
• 3 tbs all purpose flour
• 1 cup milk
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese
• 5 buttons mushrooms

Gnocchi:

1. For gnocchi : mix all the ingredients together and knead it until the dough forms a ball. Floured the surface and divide the dough into two portions and roll each into long snakes dough.
2. Cut snakes into half-inches pieces. Don’t worry about the shape…the uglier the more unique your gnocchi will. It will looks more homemade ♥
3. Boil salted water in a large pot and prepare an ice water on the side as well. Drop in gnocchi and cook for 3 to 5 minutes until it have risen to the top (u can see it floating)
4. Put the cooked gnocchi into the ice water to make it more chewy; drain and serve it with super creamy white sauce.

Creamy yet cheesy white sauce

1. In a saucepan, melt margarine. Stir in flour and mix well. Gradually add milk, button mushrooms and bring it to boil. Keep stirring it until the sauce become thickened and season it with salt and pepper.
2. Put the mozarella cheese on the top and cover the saucepan for about 1 to 2 minutes to melt the cheese.
3. Stir it well and ready to serve with the spinach gnocchi :D
4. Enjoy….
