Tonight for dinner I made butternut squash gnocchi with Happy Herbivore’s butternut squash “cream” sauce. The gnocchi were pretty good…perhaps a wee bit bland but I always find gnocchi bland. I always find that gnocchi is all about the sauce you put on top of it. That being said, the “cream” sauce was pretty good. I think next time I would fiddle with the spices. It pretty much tasted like a thick butternut squash soup. Which I don’t see anything wrong with, I could drink butternut squash soup by the gallon.
I also made Provencal spinach gratin from Mediterranean Vegan Kitchen. I added some leftover basmati rice to this dish, so I guess so much for an authentic dish. I found it a wee bit bland, but I really liked the textures. I think a splash of lemon juice would perk this up.
