Okay, I am at war with making gnocchi. I do not know why I have so much trouble with it. I roasted butternut squash halves, then I took it off the peel. After mashing it, I added a tiny bit of egg and then I started to add flour. The different recipes said 8 oz to 2 cups of flour. I lost count on about 5 or 6 cups. Plus, I beat it so long trying to get it, it became very stringt and elastic. I split off half and kept going. I finally started to form it.
They had almost no butternut squash taste. I was so full of flour that it masked it. I need to read a lot more watch videos and what not. I am determined to make it better and to get it. Not that I actually like gnocchi all that much, but I want to get it. Also, they were dense.
Meredith made the fake cream sauce. It was very good. She roughly followed this recipe. But, she used evaporated skim milk. It was great.
The mushrooms were an interesting experiment. We mixed crab (from the other day) with some laughing cow cheese and some bread crumbs. Usually when we do stuffed mushrooms, we spread the laughing cow on the mushrooms but I wanted to try it in the mix. It was not as good. I really like the way it melts into the mushrooms. This did not do that. So, I know for next time not to try it.
It is hard to figure out the points but since there was so much flour but we cut it and have lunch, it was not too bad. The mushrooms were pretty low. The "cream" sauce was 6 total and we ate very little of it.
