Gnocchi soup

FFS. This went down so well with the girls. It was literally a tin of tomatoes simmered with garlic, salt and pepper then blitzed. Then the gnocchi warmed up in it.

[emma_p]

Sounds like a good easy dinner to me!

Dics, is it this recipe? https://wyldemoon.co.uk/wylde-recipes/r ... -and-mint/

[Disco]

It is. From this book.

[emma_p]

Thank you! I love Claire Thomson's recipes on instagram (let's gloss over Holly Willoughby's lifestyle website!)

[Disco]

There are some lovely sounding dishes in the book. The soup will be the first thing I make but I’ve earmarked loads.

"Celebrating the Extraordinary Tomato" has slayed me. It's like a cook book my ma has from the 70s or 80s, called Thank Goodness for Eggs.

[Disco]

Praise Be For Broad Beans.

[Disco]

But actually truly thank goodness for eggs. Grill 'em, bake 'em fri 'em, eat 'em.

Waffle versatile!

That tomato book looks so pretty! I am sad that I hated tomatoes until my twenties.

[Disco]

I've always liked tomatoes but cooked tomatoes never appeal to me as I think they're taking the place of something cream based but my waist line needs to dismiss that notion these days. Plus I do really love tomatoes and feel sad for people who do not. I am happy you came to your senses.

[lazzbo]

Praise Be For Broad Beans.

Blessed Be The Pea.

Tomatoes are great. I'd also like a potato waffle now.
