When I was in college, one of my favorite "special occasion" meals was the tortellini with ham and cheese served at Figlio restaurant in the uber-trendy Uptown neighborhood of Minneapolis. When I saw this recipe for ham and cheese gnocchi on Food Network, I thought it might be similar. Since gnocchi and the rest of the ingredients are always at Aldi, I thought this would be a good one to try! Hope you like it!
Gnocchi with Ham and Peas
1 Tbsp butter
1 onion, diced
8 oz ham, diced
1/2 cup fresh thyme
1/2 cup chicken broth
3/4 cup water
1 (17.5 oz) package gnocchi
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 cup shredded Gruyere or Swiss cheese
Preheat broiler to high. Melt butter in oven proof skillet or dutch oven. Add onions and cook until softened (about 3 minutes). Add ham and thyme and cook until ham is slightly browned. Add chicken broth and water and bring to a simmer. Add gnocchi, stir and cover. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until gnocchi is tender. Remove from heat and stir in peas, cream, salt and pepper. Top with cheese and place under broiler for 3 minutes or until cheese is golden and bubbly.
