One Pot Ham & Cheese Gnocchi

When I want a quick dinner, I always think of pasta, rice or couscous. For some strange reason I never think of gnocchi! Well no more. This gorgeously tempting One Pot Ham & Cheese Gnocchi has definitely won me over. It’s filling, it’s tasty & it’s all made in just one pot. Erm, yeah, where do I sign??

Here is what you will need to serve 2 – 3.

(Recipe adapted from Kevin & Amanda)

• 1 tbsp Olive Oil
• 1/2 Onion, finely chopped
• 150g Ham, chopped *
• 300ml Chicken Stock
• 500g Pack of Gnocchi
• 75g Frozen Peas
• 30ml Milk
• Salt & Pepper
• 50g Cheddar Cheese, grated

* You will need either a good, thick cut ham or a ham joint that you can slice yourself.

Essential Equipment

• Large Non Stick Frying Pan with a Lid

First off, prep your ingredients. Get that onion finely sliced, the ham chopped into thick pieces & the cheese grated.

Preheat your grill ready to melt the cheese later & get the frying pan set over a medium heat.

When the pan is hot, add in the oil, swill it around a little then add the onion. Fry for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft and turning golden brown.

Add the ham to the pan and fry for another 2 minutes.

Then pour in the chicken stock and bring to the boil.

Add in the gnocchi & frozen peas, give it a stir then cover & simmer for 5 minutes.

Check the gnocchi is tender, if it is, pour in the milk and season to taste with salt & pepper. If not, pop the lid back on for another minute or two then add the milk & seasoning.

Scatter over the grated cheese and place under the preheated grill for 5 – 10 minutes until golden and bubbling.

Divide between 2 or 3 plates & dig in immediately!

I definitely think ham & cheese gnocchi will become a household staple with me, it makes a really delightful change from the same old meals I tend to stick to. Let’s face it, we’re all a bit guilty of that aren’t we?! I hope you enjoyed the post my lovelies, until next time!
