Welcome!

Welcome to Simple Fare, Fairly Simple. This is a place for me to post recipes of all kinds...along with other miscellaneous fodder from my so-called life here in the south. Who knows what you will find here. Could be anything from my husband...known as IT Guy...to my kids and beautiful grandbabies that are growing up way too fast right before my eyes. But...mostly this will be a place for food. I hope you'll see something you like and if you decide to try something from the list...leave me a comment and let me know!

Gnocchi with Mozzarella and Basil

Oh my...how good and EASY was this??? I had a few hours to kill on a sunny afternoon and whipped this up real quick then immediately regretted it because I couldn't stop eating it and no one was home but me!!! This is a perfect QUICK side dish or serve it with a salad for a complete meal!! You could even add some chicken in there...or meatballs!! Incredibly delicious!!!!


Gnocchi with Mozzarella and Basil













2 - 3 cups marinara sauce (depending on how saucy you like things)
1 17-ounce package potato gnocchi
1 8-ounce ball of mozzarella cheese - diced (or grated if you prefer)
3 tablespoons fresh basil
Salt and pepper to taste

Prepare gnocchi according to package directions. Drain and set aside. 

Heat marinara sauce in a small sauce pan. Add basil and salt and pepper. 

In the same pot that you boiled the gnocchi, combine the gnocchi, sauce and cheese. Stir to combine. 

Transfer to a serving bowl.
