Gnocchi with Bolognaise Sauce



When Syahmi left with Iddin yesterday morning, and hubby as usual, as early as after Fajr prayers, I thought of lazying around, again! But then, I said to myself, enough is enough... mustn't be a lazy bum or I'll be tired the whole day. That explains the two entries on my blog, in one day!!! It's just out of the norm, for me that is! So, enjoy while it last! Hahaha......Then in the evening, I did some ironing. Oh how good it felt after a long time not doing it. I miss my iron and my ironing board! Did quite a bit and will continue ironing this evening too...

For my lunch yesterday, I tried this Potato Gnocchi recipe from Auntie Umi's Fotopage. Saw this recipe a long time ago, while I was still in Malawi. And only yesterday I managed to try it out. A bit tedious but worth taking the challenge as the taste is lovely if you're into Italian food. Thank you auntie for sharing this recipe with all of us...

  14. maz :
    Kalau anak-anak Maz suka, kenalah Maz buat sendiri ye. Guna 4 biji kentang je dah cukup untuk Maz sekeluarga.

    kak ina kl :
    Oh ala shiannya. Takkan sesuap je kak... Buatlah korokke tu, sedap tau. Pas tu senang pulak...

    hazila :
    Mama ni pun, makan sorang je sebenarnya. Hubby dan Syahmi tu tekak Melayu. Mama ni tekak seantero donia. Malas tu malas gak, tapi sebab dah lama pendam nak tahu rasa macam mana, buatlah juga sikit... sib baik Maz datang, bolehlah bagi dia sekali...

    Watierman, rmanbkr :
    Waalaikumussalam Watie. Nak nganga sama? Hihihi.. macam anak-anak burung la pulak...ahakss... Ha ah, rumah Maz tak jauh dari rumah ma...

    hana :
    Tu la pasal. Nak nyebutnya, sampai nyembor air lior! Hahaha.... Hana, sebelah rumah ma memang kosong. Tuan rumah baru je cat balik dan betulkan apa yang patut. Dia nak cari penyewa. Amacam, interested? Ala... tapi dok Jepun lagi best!

    Azie Ziedazzle :
    Waalaikumussalam Azie. Nanti buat ye, tapi renyah sket la nak prepare gnocchi tu. Sosnya. senang jek...

    nadja :
    Memang sedap tau...

    AbbotCottage :
    Sabar ye sabar... nanti masuk dapur, terus masak ye... biar tak hangit terbakar hati tu... hihii....

    somuffins :
    Waalaikumussalam. Betul tu, bentuk pun serupa kepompong... Nak buat sendiri, memang sedikit renyah, tapi sebab curious punya pasal, buat jugalah....

    Ummi :
    Ha ah, inilah yang Ummi kata pasembor Kodiang tu... hihi... kita tak gi Kodianglah, kita gi Itali lagi! Hahaha...

    SIREH JUNJUNG :
    Waalaikumussalam Nenek... menjunjung kasih, patik telah melaksanakannya. Terima kasih banyak ye Nek...

    E-na Zarina :
    Waalaikumussalam E-na. Sedap gak gnocchi ni. Tepung bungkus tu, kena rasa sendirilah baru tahu kesedapannya cemana... hehehe....

    Ijan :
    Waalaikumussalam Ijan... Gnocchi ni makanan Italian. Cemana kawan Poland tu ajar? Ijan experimentlah dulu, pas tu hantar report ye.... mesti best!
