If you have one hour -lunch break, what do you cook?
You cannot eat in a rush , being content with what remains in the fridge.
But time goes fast in any case and here you find a very quick dumplings (gnocchi) all things considered not so bad to be prepared in 20 minutes!
Ingredient for one person:
150 g rice dumplings (it is possible to find it in supermarket)
15 cherry tomatoes of my vegetable garden
3 tablespoons crushed olives (Italian taggiasche types)
oregano
olive oil
a clove of garlic
Parmesan cheese
Preparation:
I put in a pan the cherry tomatoes (if they are very small, you don't need to cut them), olives, the unpeeled clove of garlic, the oregano and olive oil and a pinch of salt (very little,because olives are very tasty so it doesn't need much).
I sweat them for 5 minutes and then I add a glass of water and I let the sauce cook for 10 minutes.
In a pan with boiling salted water, I pour my gnocchi and I drain them very quickly when they go above water (two-three minutes normally).
I pour them in the pan with the sauce (where which I remove the garlic, very tasty but asocial, if you have to come back to the office later).
I serve my hot gnocchi with melted Parmesan cheese shavings.
It's not a gourmet recipe but it satisfies your mouth and your stomach, for sure!
