今日は土曜日、ということで夫が夕食を作ってくれる日なのですが、昨日の夜の時点で何を作ると言う話しが出なかったので、これはきっとまたパニクルと思ったので、わたしから提案することに。冷凍庫に早く使ってしまいたいイタリアンソーセージがあったので、それを使ってラグーを作ってもらい、わたしがリコッタを使ったニョッキを作りました。ニョッキはインスタで流れてきたレシピを使ったのですが、使ったリコッタチーズが緩めで、インスタのビデオを見るとかなり硬めのリコッタチーズを使っていたので粉の量が全然違いたくさん粉を足さなくてはいけなかったので、ふんわりというよりもっちり系のニョッキになりました。次回はリコッタチーズの水気をざるなどでしっかり切って使ってみたいと思います。ラグーはとても美味しかったです。

It’s a Saturday today so it’s the day my husband cooks dinner.  However, by late evening yesterday, my husband didn’t mention what he would be cooking so I thought he would panic when he remembered that he would be in charge tonight, so I thought of what I could suggest and proposed that he cooked a kind of ragu using the Italian sausages that we had in the freezer as they were getting old.  I’d ordered ricotta cheese thinking I would try and make ricotta gnocchi so I told him I would make them.  I followed a recipe I saw on Instagrame but after I started making them I realised that the ricotta cheese we had was much more creamy than the one on the video so I needed to add a lot more flour than in the recipe, which made the gnocchi more chewy than the soft and pillowy that they were supposed to be.  It was still good but not the type I really love.  I would try again with ricotta that I strain on a sieve so I don’t need to add such a lot of flour next time.  The sausage ragu was very tasty.
