After a long day of work, it's tempting to swing by your favourite takeaway, or chuck a frozen pizza in the oven.
However, taking some time to make Miguel Barclay's recipe for homemade cauliflower gnocchi will be well worth your while - and your body will thank you for it too.
Each portion will cost you just £1, making it a great option if you're trying to stick to a budget. Here's how to make it...
Cauliflower gnocchi
Serves 2
Ingredients
- ½ cauliflower, broken into florets
- 2 tbsp plain flour, plus extra if needed
- 1 egg
- A few sage leaves
- Small handful of grated parmesan
- Oil (any)
- Salt and pepper
- Preheat your oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas mark 4. Scatter the cauliflower florets on to a baking sheet, then drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Roast for 25 minutes until cooked through. Transfer to a bowl, mash with a fork and mix in the flour and the egg.
- Very, very lightly knead the mixture on a worktop (don’t press too hard – keep it fluffy) and shape into a sausage shape. If the mixture is too dry, add a splash of water. If it is too wet, add a sprinkle of flour.
- Chop the sausage into 2cm sections. Pan-fry the gnocchi in a splash of oil over a medium/high heat for a few minutes, adding the sage leaves to the pan so they crisp up slightly.
- Serve sprinkled with grated parmesan
