#210 The Case of Gnocchi Primavera

2 350-g-packages potato gnocchi (Longo's Potato Gnocchi are nice) or enough for 4 people
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/3 cup white wine
1 rounded teaspoon (for 1 cup) vegetable bouillon powder
2 zucchinis, chopped (about 2 cups)
2 green onions, chopped (or the equivalent of chopped chives)
1/3 cup Pine Nut Parmesan
salt
pepper

 Add the potato gnocchi to a large pot of boiling water. Immediately set your timer for 2 min. As soon as gnocchi float to the surface, test one. They're probably already al dente—ready before the 2 min. are up.

 In the meantime, bring the olive oil, white wine and vegetable bouillon powder to a boil in another large pot. Simmer and reduce by half.

 When the gnocchi are al dente, drain them and add them to the reduction. Toss in the zucchini, green onions, Pine Nut Parmesan and salt to taste.

 Plate and grind pepper on top.  

 Serves 4.

 PS This is fabulous with fresh peas to replace the zucchini!

The Case of Vegetarian Detective in Italy

B uon giorno!   I feel like a snob saying, "I'm just back from Italy." That's me: jetsetter. Yeah, right!   But wow...Italy!   I could talk up a storm, and I surely will as I adjust to being back here, six time zones from magnificent Italia . I often ask people who've just travelled what was their favourite part of their trip. If I ask the same of myself, my answer is seeing Michelangelo's sculptures. His Pietà and The Statue of David literally moved me to tears. I just can't believe I saw "him" in person!   So...our plane from Toronto was delayed six hours and we missed the first day of activities, but we still visited Rome, Montecatini, Siena, San Gimignano, Pisa, Vinci, Florence, Cinque Terre and Assisi. Quite the agenda for ten days, including the two flight days, wouldn't you say? But Trafalgar made it work. I would go on a Trafalgar trip again in a heartbeat.   Things I learned in Italy:   In the regions we ...

#257 The Case of Cacio e Pepe

T his recipe is the simplest of the simple and yet it feels decadent to me. Posh even!   enough spaghetti for 2 2 tablespoons vegan butter 1 teaspoon coarsely grated black peppercorns (about 50 turns of the grater) plus a little more pepper to grate on top 3/8 cup vegan Parmesan (1/4 cup grated) salt   Cook the spaghetti. In the meantime, toast the pepper in a pot on medium-low heat for about 30 seconds or until aromatic.   Swirl in the butter and melt it slowly. Do not brown. You can turn the heat right off when it's ready. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking water.   When the spaghetti is just about al dente, pour 1/2 cup of the reserved pasta water into the butter mixture. Then drain the spaghetti and toss it in. Raise the heat to medium-high and mix vigorously with tongs. Stir in the grated Parmesan and more pasta water, if needed, to create a creamy sauce. Salt to taste. Plate. Grate the rest of the cheese and some additional pepper on top. Serves 2. ♥...
