I hold/host my Greek Supper Clubs once a month and the latest one took place this past Sunday. One of the dishes I served was a gnocchi with a creamy Feta sauce.

Gnocchi are little dumplings containing potato, flour and eggs and considered party of the huge list of Italian pastas. I have some recipes to make your own gnocchi but there are also some great store-bought products you can buy and keep in your pantry (shelf stable).

I am a fan of covenience products and gnocchi are one those products – great for a quick meal. The sauce here is also quick: mashed up or puree the sauce and add to the cooked gnocchi (or other pasta) and serve.

You can serve ‘as is’ or as I have here some green peas, crumbled Feta and bacon bits.
