Garden Salad, Gnocchi Bolognese, and Focaccia

July 16, 2010 by susanelester 2 Comments

Garden Salad
Sungold and Tommy Toe Cherry Tomatoes from our garden!
1/2 head Iceberg Lettuce, thinly sliced in both directions
3 Ribs Celery, sliced
2 Carrots, peeled and sliced
6 Green Onions, sliced
Handful of Cherry Tomatoes
Creamy Peppercorn Salad Dressing
Gnocchi Bolognese
One of my favorite comfort foods when I was a kid in Italy, Gnocchi are pasta balls made with potatoes.  They are mild, chewy, and great with a variety of sauces.  They are time-consuming to make from scratch, so I was happy to find Fornario Italia Potato Gnocchi pre-made at Trader Joe’s.

Boil according to package directions, and top with 1/2 a recipe of Bolognese Sauce (you can freeze the other half to defrost for a quick weeknight dinner another time).

Focaccia
We get wonderful fresh Focaccia at the Farmers’ Market & like to dip it in Olive Oil and Balsamic Vinegar.
We finally had nice enough weather to enjoy dinner in our garden!
Buon Appetito!
