This Trangia recipe for creamy smoked sausage & mushroom gnocchi takes just minutes to cook but tastes delicious. It is far more than the sum of its parts.
Gnocchi are Italian potato dumplings that can be cooked in the exact same ways as pasta. Gnocchi is really quick to cook, simply simmer the dumplings in boiling water for 3 minutes.
Gnocchi is an excellent choice of camping food, it’s healthy, versatile and cooks far quicker and easier than potatoes do. It also makes a nice change from pasta or rice.
My creamy smoked sausage & mushroom gnocchi recipe can be used as a rough guide. You could replace the sausage with bacon and the mushrooms with leek or mix it up totally by using a can of chopped tomatoes instead of double cream.
You could also add an Italian hard cheese, such as Parmesan or Pecorino to the recipe.
With gnocchi, the options are almost endless and, as always, it is worth experimenting to suit your own tastes with seasonal ingredients.
