Gnocci with Roasted Pepper Sauce

Hi all,

well this is my first receipe and I have to say that tonights tea was yummy. It's January and the food hangover from Christmas is still going strong so I'm trying to reduce calories and portion size! This receipe was for 2 so just take the list below and double it or whatever for however many are eating.

I can't believe that people use those jars when making sauces as this is really easy peasy and tastes sooo not synthetic and out of a jar.

I forgot to say that I'm only providing the basic quantities cos that's how I cook. The majority of my dishes are 1 pot wonders except on a weekend when I might brave a few pans and even a roasting dish!

Ingredients
2 x peppers
2 x clove of garlic
Olive oil
Smoked sweet paprika
Parsley
Creme Fraise (reduced fat is also fine
1 x packet of gnocci
Salt & pepper

Cut peppers in half and scoop out seeds and stalk - cut into thick strips
Place in oven dish and liberally (but not too much) cover in olive oil
Add the 2 cloves of garlic (just squash them and take off the skin), S&P, and a teaspoon of smoked paprika (the wonder spice).
Cook for about 20 mins at about 180
Pour all ingredients into a blender, make sure you get all of the oil
Add about 3 tablespoons of creme fraise and wizz
Boil gnocci
Pour sauce into drained gnocci, add parsley and stir
Grate parmesan or peccorino on top
Et voila!

You can make this more complicated by deskinning the peppers first and then roasting or you could sieve after blending to get rid of the bits but why? it's fine as it is unless it's for a posh dinner party. You can serve this with anything not just the gnocci but pasta or even as a sauce to meat and fish.

Bon appetite or enjoy yer tea as they say up north
