Pulled Pork Gnocchi Ripieni with Brown Butter Corn and Jalapeño Vinaigrette

Pulled Pork Gnocchi Ripieni with Brown Butter Corn and Jalapeño Vinaigrette

Pasta, for me, has always been more about an approach to food than a favourite dish. Don’t get me wrong, we make and enjoy it at least once a week, and it is a passion bordering on obsession, but tacos truly vie for my heart. Or my stomach, as it may be. It was only a matter of time before we quite literally stuffed some Mexican into our pasta.

I’m not going to say that we ran out of fresh ingredients due to poorly-timed lockdown grocery deliveries, but if that had hypothetically happened, this would have been the perfect pasta solution. This week’s cappelletti is made with a fennel seed dough, and a simple, comforting filling of roasted potato and fennel. We served them up with crispy potato skins, a delicious agrumato, and a scattering of crushed pink peppercorns. Sometimes it takes a pantry emergency to remind you that the simple food is often the best!

Pretty much the only thing better than a plate of stuffed and pan-fried gnocchi, is a plate of bright purple stuffed and pan-fried gnocchi. This week we’ve made a light dough out of roasted purple potatoes, and filled it with creamy eggplant. Tossed through the sage-infused oil that we finished them in, they have a comfortingly subtle flavour, but with a bold hit of colour!

Doppio Ravioli of Peperonata with Balsamic Tomatoes

Doppio Ravioli of Peperonata with Balsamic Tomatoes

One of my favourite childhood dishes, that my Mum still makes when I visit, is peperonata. Ours was simply capsicums and potatoes, roasted with breadcrumbs and a good hit of olive oil: a magic combination. I’d always though that it would be fun to capture these flavours in pasta, but had never quite settled on how to do it. Do you focus on the potato or the capsicum? And then, suddenly, I remembered doppio ravioli. Perché non entrambi?

The bits and pieces from our grain-free and dairy-free gnocchi: broccoli pesto, and fried breadcrumbs 🥦

For the pesto (serving 4), simply blend up 1 large head of blanched broccoli, 1 large handful of basil, 40 g of pine nuts, 2 cloves of garlic, 1 big tbsp of nutritional yeast, 1 tbsp of pumpkin seeds, the juice of half a lemon, and 200 ml of extra virgin olive oil, seasoned to taste 👌

And the breadcrumbs (grain-free 'breadcrumbs') are just gently fried, then mixed through chopped parsley and crushed pink peppercorns.

Full recipe up on our blog (link in bio)!

✖️Grain-Free & Dairy-Free Pan-Fried Gnocchi with Broccoli Pesto✖️ 

The past few years have been a wild family ride through chronic health issues, and we’re still just doing what we can to hang in there. Although I’m the main culprit behind our current dietary requirements, pasta night has evolved by necessity to include three different pasta doughs and at least two sauces (an every-burner-on-the-stove kind of situation). 

We’ve had great success adapting everything to GF (as you would have noticed in recent posts), and dairy-free is not too hard either (choking back your tears at not being able to drink grated pecorino straight from the bag when no one’s looking), but grain-free is a little trickier… 

So we’ve made things easier for ourselves by adding gnocchi to the menu! As long as nightshades (or things that grow underground if you’re staring down mould-free/low-amylose diets) are not causing you any problems, potato is your friend. This recipe does include nuts, for the flavour more than anything else, but you can easily substitute it with more of the other dry ingredients. 

These gnocchi use a mix of potato, almond flour, potato starch, tapioca starch, egg, nutritional yeast, and xanthan gum (with the usual oil, salt, nutmeg). They’re not too heavy, have a nice chewiness to them, and fry up perfectly. Served with a simple broccoli pesto and grain-free breadcrumbs 👌 

I do want to stress that I’m not recommending any particular diet, just providing options. For me, it’s been a long adventure through countless doctors’ offices, hospitals, pathology labs, etc that’s brought me to this point. I think we’ve all come far enough now to know that GF is not a fad or tied to any one diagnosis, allergies are diverse and debilitating, and the only way that we should ever receive anyone’s ‘unusual’ food order is with compassion. I hope that these kinds of recipes make life a little easier or more interesting for someone out there, and are just as delicious for everyone else!

Cheeky batch of capps 👀

To make these guys, start with a zig-zag edged square of around 6-8cm, drop a dollop of filling into the middle, and then fold in half to form a triangle. Poke the inner edge of the filling to create a dimple, and then bring the outer corners of the triangle around to slightly overlap. Pinch the overlap to seal in place 👌

A little afternoon arrangiarsi. We had a heap of almost-finished flours in the cupboard, so this Sunday’s pasta is spaghetti made from Khorasan, spelt, two different wholemeal ryes, wholemeal baker’s, and a gluten-free mix (maize, rice, tapioca). Yes, @fortytwocakes is a baker.

We turned to our trusty KitchenAid for this one. As usual, there’s no real recipe, though it is based on the extruded pasta recipe from our book. So for four people, that’s 560 g of flour, 180 ml of water (measured on top of two whole eggs), and a teaspoon of salt. Note that with all of these wholemeal flours, we added a fair bit more water until it clumped together like buttered breadcrumbs.

I may have tried the odd piece of raw pasta, and can confirm it’s delicious. Now all packaged up and ready for lap-transport to Nonna’s, where we’ll be serving it with a carbonara sauce featuring some sneaky frozen Christmas ham leftovers… 🍝

✖️Dark Rye and Rosemary Sorpresine✖️

One of our most delicious doughs yet! This was 50% dark rye flour, a blend of maize, rice, and tapioca, and finely chopped rosemary mixed throughout. Served up in a simple minestra, straight out of the book (page 103)👌

It’s tricky weather for pasta making in Perth at the moment. Due to the heat (or air-conditioning blasting away to counter the heat), pasta sheets are drying as soon as they hit the board! So it’s all a mad rush of cling wrap, tea towels, and water spritzing (these ones needed a dab of water on every square). What are you all cooking up as 2024 comes to an end?

Incidentally, we’ve had a few queries about cutters lately. This fantastic brass cutter is one of my favourite pasta tools, and (if you’re in AUS/NZ) you can pick one up in our store. They’ve been selling fast over Christmas, so get in now! Link in bio or via this post 😊🍝

We’ve been getting into these cheeseburger fagottini lately, served in a tomato, bacon, and pickle juice broth 🍔🍝

Stepping through the fillings of our cheeseburger fagottini...

Start it off with a square of sesame seed dough, then lay down a circle of American red cheddar, a dollop of ketchup made with the tomatoes strained from our bacon broth, a squeeze of mild American mustard, and then a miniature meatball of bacon (also from the broth) and beef nestled on top 👌

Full recipe via link in bio!

To form fagottini, bring the corners of your stacked cheeseburger squares together in neighbouring pairs, pinching the very tips but leaving the top and edges open. Draw those same pinched corners together to meet above the filling, and press together to form a pyramid. Follow along clockwise from the middle row in the first photo!
