gnocchi, a great easy to make, cheap authentic italian food. you will need: potatoes flour thats it. boil the potatoes with the skin on. they need to be really boiled well.... after they are boiled, drain them and leave them to cool. after they have cooled, peel the skin, then try and dry them (you can use a tea towel) then shove them in a bowl and mash them, the mash needs to be as fine as you can get it really. then add some flour so it becomes a kind of dough. you dont need much flour. just enough to bind them. next put some water in a pan, and boil it. when it is boiling. you make little balls with the dough about the size of your thumb i guess. drop them in the boiling water, when the float (about 3 mins) they are cooked. serve with whatever you want, cheese sauce goes really well with them. i can write a recepie for that if anyone wants
Here's one that isn't too hard to make and keeps the kids entertained/happy too. Cheesy chips + bacon wrapped sausages. Cook the sausages on gas mark seven for ten minutes, take them out of the oven and wrap each sausage in one rasher of bacon. Put them back in the oven for another 20 minutes. while the sausages are cooking, cook your chips, cook them however you usually would weather it be oven or deep fry. You need to melt the cheese, a packet of the grated stuff from asda usually does the job. Throw that and a little bit of butter into a small pan and heat it on high to melt it. Serve the chips first and cover them with the melted cheese, then get the bacon wrapped sausages out, serve with a dollop of brown sauce and the job is a good un.
I can barely make a bowl of cornflakes without setting my kitchen on fire! Also I hate brown sauce wtf is even in that stuff.
When I 1st started cooking,looked like something that had survived a nuclear holocaust - never got food poisoning/mind,now I even tacitly read directions...and it's even edible..
