Hello everyone,

This year for the holidays, I updated my vegan gnocchi recipe. I love Italian food, and gnocchi has been my favorite dish for years. I used to prepare it for my family using pre-made gnocchi and sauce, but not any more! I’ve mastered the hand rolled potato gnocchi of my dreams.

Gnocchi can seem intimidating, but I promise you it’s not. You can make as much or as little as you want, and the recipe uses a handful of household staple ingredients. I like to make a double batch and freeze half for a later date. You can’t even tell! This recipe freezes extremely well. I honestly can’t wait to make it again.

Check out the recipe below. Tell me, what’s your favorite pasta to make from scratch?

Mangia! Mangia!

Simple Homemade Marinara Sauce with Garlic & Basil

Hello and happy fall!

If you read my blog you already know this—I’m Italian, and I love pasta. While I’ve been making my own homemade noodles for about a year, I’ve been hesitating on the sauce. Who wants that mess? You have to peel tomatoes and the juice splashes everywhere, etc. The list goes on. Or so I thought. Turns out I was wrong. Yes, it can be messy to make your own sauce, but it’s not that bad and it’s totally worth it. I never should have hesitated. I now LOVE making my own Simple Homemade Marinara Sauce with Garlic & Basil.

Not only is it way healthier to eat, but it makes your entire home smell amazing and it tastes so much better than that stuff from the jar. There is nothing better than the mix of fresh-snipped basil and ripe tomatoes with a splash of olive oil. There is a reason pasta marinara is a household staple, and it’s not just because it’s a cheap, quick fix. It’s really good, too. Pasta marinara is so simple, yet when you get a realllllly good noodle with an impeccable sauce, there’s just nothing better for a crisp, cool night!

My garden has been producing an overwhelming amount of tomatoes so my partner and I are hurrying to make sure none of our homegrown tomatoes go to waste. With a half dozen jars of salsa under our belt, we moved onto canning the following marinara sauce recipe.

Go ahead and give it a try. Let me know what you think!

Cheers and happy eating!

Jocelyn
