It has been a while I have prepared something what was not in hurry. Lately, I barely had time for things… I do not know why π And the fact I had break from my blog as well affected my cooking at home. However, not that long ago I prepared gnocchi again. I simply love that kind of pasta and I had time to make some as our little monkey is now on holiday with my parents π Just between us – it is kind of holiday for me too π But I do really miss him. It is strange to arrive home and everything is just quiet. Children change your life β€
What do you need:Β
500 g gnocchi (homemade or bought)
300 g chicken breasts
250 g bacon
350 g kale
400 ml double cream or lactose free creamΒ
sweet paprika powderΒ
1 tsp Vegeta spices
vegetable oilΒ
Firstly, take a big pot, fill it with water and let it boil for gnocchi preparation. This time I did not have time to prepare gnocchi so I have bough one (they are good as well) and then the preparation is very quick. In the mean time, take a bigger pan add oil and cut chicken breast into small pieces and bacon into slices. Add to the pan and heat it up. Add sweet paprika powder and cook until are chicken pieces done (approximately 15 minutes). Afterwards, add finely chopped kale leaves together with Vegeta spices. Cover the pan and cook next 10 minutes. When is water boiling in the other pot, add gnocchi and cook according to recommendations on the pack (I cooked them approximately 3 minutes). At the end, add cream into the pan with chicken and cook until a bit thicker. And the last bit at the end – serve and enjoy! π

Oh gosh Vero– this looks luscious! I know what you mean about cooking slumps. Lately I’ve had to drag myself into the kitchen. But I think with cooler weather, we’ll be back to soups and hearty good. I’m ready for a change. And– Children change your life is such an understatement!! Everything changes– so much work and worry and time. But also so much sweetness and joy. I wouldn’t trade being a mom for anything! Yummy post!
