Gnocchi in Beetroot Sauce

Gnocchi in Beetroot Sauce

Beetroot is healthy, yummy and easy to prepare. 


My Rating 

(feel free to add your own in the comments)
  • ★ Taste - Creamy & Fruity again :)
  • ★☆ Price - I spent about 3€ for this.
  • ★★ Time - about 5 or 10 minutes total. 
  • ★★★☆ Healthiness - Coconut milk is again not the healthiest but the beetroot rocks.
  • ★☆ Simplicity - It's done in a snap but be careful with the juice which is hard to get off you clothes again.


Ingredients

  • 150g Gnocchis from the fresh shelve (they must not be dry)
  • 300g Conserved Beetroot (it must not be raw, or it will take ages)
  • 100ml Coconut Milk (if you don't have any, normal milk is fine)

Directions

  1. Use a small pot to put the beetroot and a little bit of veg-oil in.
  2. Cut the beetroot inside of the pot to avoid squirting juice.
  3. Let it fry a little for a more intense taste.
  4. After a few minutes, add the coconut milk and the gnocchis.
  5. Let it cook for moment, so that the gnocchis can soke up the sauce a little.
  6. Season it with salt, pepper and basil.

Make it Special

(these are optional and depend on your personal preference, time or money)
  • Instead of putting the gnocchis directly into the pot, cook them in separate one. 
  • Add a spring-onion: Cut it into small rings and fry the white ones together with the beetroot and use the green rings for decoration on top.
  • Add some basil on top.
