This lovely dish was an improvisation.
The plan was to make a variation of an old family favourite, the economical but tasty Hamburger Stroganoff. The dish that I created was a pure delight. I used a package of ground chicken, a chopped onion and some garlic, and the quintessentially convenient can of cream of chicken soup.
But then, I decided I wanted some gnocchi (not egg noodles or potatoes) to go with it. I spontaneously threw some green ingredients in... I added a good handful of chopped baby spinach and some frozen peas into the boiling water for a minute before I stirred it altogether. My goodness, was it ever good!
Sometimes, improvising in the kitchen can do more than help you unwind at the end of a crazy day at work... it can result in a surprisingly delicious and extremely satisfying dish.
Try it, you'll like it.
And then you'll want another bowl.
