Hello Steemians, how are you? So let's say you are tired after work and want food fast? You are easily tempted to prepare a hot-dog in 5 minutes, right? Well there are other options available for you and I promise that you will be able to prepare yourself a delicious dinner in just 15 minutes!

My suggestion for you: Arugula Gnocchi Soufflé in 15 minutes!

You will need:

1/2 liter (0.13 gal) water	20 gr (0.044 lb) butter
1 bouquet arugula	250 gr (0.55 lb) all pourpose flour
4 eggs	salt
2 pastry bags (or just 1 if durable enough)

You my choose your favorite sauce or try my suggested one, with this ingredients:

1 big tomato	1 garlic clove
10 fresh basil leafs	4 walnuts
olive oil	salt, pepper

Elaboration

Sauce
~~Attenzione! Skip this section if you want to use ketchup instead and be immediatly included on a hit list~~

Put some olive oil on a pan at hot heat. Cut the garlic clove in half and put it on the pan. 'Concasse' your tomato (remove the skin, seeds and chop it) and add it to the pan. Sauté it for one minute and then add the basil and some chopped walnuts. Don't forget to sprinkle some salt and pepper. You are ready with your sauce ~~and out of the hit list~~!

Arugula Gnocchi Soufflé

Put water to boil with some salt and butter.
Chiffonade ( stack the leaves, roll them tightly and slice perpendicular to the roll) your arugula.

Watch this video if you want to learn this chopping technique:

When the water is boiling, add the aragula and the flour. Stir firmly with a wooden spoon, adding the eggs one at a time.

Watch this video for more details (and listen to my lovely Tina barking)

Put some more water to boil.
Urge the mixture into the pastry bag and cut the tip (adjust your cut according to your desired gnocchi's size!)

Watch this video for more details:

Use a spoon to cut the dough so that you form each gnocchi letting them fall into the boiling water (from time to time wet your spoon so that the pasta wont glue). When your gnocchi float, take them out with a slotted spoon and put them in a bowl with cold water to interrupt the cooking (so that you can eat them 'Al dente').
