Gnocchi with Pomodoro Sauce
Fluffy potato dumplings sautéed for a crispy exterior and tender interior with a simple tomato sauce. I used the oil from the marinated mozzarella ball container for the sauce with great success.
Egg Breakfast Pizza
This recipe will make two pizzas. I came up with it by accident by throwing a bunch of ingredients together. We make it on the weekends at the lake for breakfast/brunch. You can modify toppings. I usually make one sausage and one bacon. Each pizza will serve 3 to 4 people.
