Gnocchi and pasta became our favorite dish so I have the possibility to try and to experiment all kind of sauces. Here you have another great sauce I strongly recommend:

Ingredients:

2 tbsp olive oil
1 medium onion
1 lb of hot italian sausage meat
2 tbsp chili-garlic sauce
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp garlic flakes
1/2 tsp onion flakes
1 jar of any original pasta sauce
2 tbsp bamboo roots in spicy chili oil

In a frying pan, heat the oil and then add the onion and cook until golden brown. Then add the ground meat and cook it thoroughly – approx. 5 minutes. Add all other ingredients after and cook until the sauce become quite thick.

I tried to do some potato gnocchi from scratch, with pizzaiola sauce, after a wonderful recipe – http://www.gianni.tv/potato-gnocchi-with-three-sauces/, but I didn’t have time today to make them, so I just bought some from Longo’s Supermarket. As a sauce, I’ve made an original recipe called Doru’s’ pasta sauce.

Ingredients for the sauce:

2 tbsp olive oil
1 stalk of leek, cut thin slices
4 garlic cloves, minced
5 plum tomatoes cut julienne (no skin)
2 mushrooms, thin sliced
2 tbsp of chicken/vegetable soup
1 tbsp bacon bits
2 tsp chili garlic sauce
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
pinch od oregano

Directions:

In a frying pan heat the olive oil at medium-high temperature, add leek and cook until soft. Add tomatoes, mushrooms, bacon bits, chicken/vegetable soup and chili garlic sauce and simmer until thick in consistency. When ready, add gnocchi and spices and simmer for another 2-3 minutes or until gnocchi will absorb the remaining liquid. Serve with grated Pecorino cheese. Enjoy!!!
