your family will love this tasty pasta dish and you'll look like a superstar preparing this easy to make restaurant-style dish!
If you’re looking for a new recipe for your family’s weeknight dinner make sure to try this dish of potato gnocchi over a sweet pea puree with jerk chicken. Your family will be glad you did! This recipe is a guest post from Jenny of Savour the Senses.
The pea puree is a great sauce for the gnocchi and the chicken adds a nice crunch as well as a little spice. Also, there is no need to buy a pre-made jerk seasoning; I have a homemade combo right here! When making the gnocchi for this recipe, be sure to test one before making the rest in order to ensure that you have enough flour in the mix. Enjoy!
TIP: If you have trouble getting the imprints in your gnocchi with a fork, try pressing each piece on a wooden sushi mat then kind of re-shape them back into footballs; works like magic!
Your family is going to love these little fluffy gnocchi!

Despite drying the gnocchi after removing from the ice water, the gnocchi went mushy and I ended up with a pile of mashed potato when I sautéd it.
The rest worked though

The post turned out great Jen! Dennis, thanks for having Jenny guest post – I love that you work to expand our connections in the food world! (And PS, the sushi mat idea for getting the grooves in the gnocchi was mine – I just stink at doing it the fork way!)

Tobias @ T and Tea Cake says
What a coincidence! I have just told a friend how often I am reminiscing about the jerked chicken I ate while living in London and that I just could not find neither a mix, nor a recipe to my liking and now THAT! This takes it to a whole new fusion cuisine kind of level and I LOVE it!
Cheers,
Tobias

Amazing recipe! 🙂 The dish looks complicated to make yet pretty simple once you break it down. I like that photo of all the spices. I’ve always wanted to make gnocchi, and the pureed peas look better than they sound – lol.
