The recipe was also quite simple, with a total of 6 ingredients. The gnocchi is store bought and next time I might be brave and try to make it from scratch. The tomato sauce was very simple, consisting of a large tin of tomatoes, garlic, basil and a pinch of chilli flakes.
I thought the sauce was quite acidic and I wanted to add a wee bit of sugar to cut through the acidity, however the only sugar I could find was either raw sugar or Equal... The Equal might have been okay, but I chose to go without... The sauce could have also used a bit more chilli. I guess my 'pinch' is quite measly. My sister suggested that next time I might want to try blitzing the sauce as we both don't enjoy chunky tomato bits.
So this meal was okay, and with a few minor adjustments, I think it could potentially turn into a semi-regular meal in our house.
In other adventures, while looking for a recipe for low calorie banana muffins, I came across a website that has HEAPS of low calorie recipes. While the recipes don't come with pictures (a bit let-down in my opinion), they come with a full nutritional evaluation. Many recipes are submitted by the general public.
