These are 2 more recipes that were demonstrated at Nico's recent cooking class.
It was delicious when we tasted it at the class and delicious when I made it at home.
It was even better the next day as the flavours had developed.
The gnudi was easy to make. Nico's tip for this one was to get the ricotto that isn't completely smooth (the more textured the better). I was glad I saw it made, otherwise I wouldn't have placed my gnudi as tightly together in the varoma tray like the recipe says.
The tomato sauce is easy to make as well, just let it cook away and do its thing. Nico said that whenever he sautés onions he always does it for 10 minutes with the measuring cup off (a couple of minutes or so isn't long enough). I did reduce the amount of oil though as he uses a lot! Also he said when you blitz your tomatoes don't overdo it, as your sauce may turn orange.
It makes a lot, so we still have a couple of serves in the freezer.
Great recipes, thanks Nico!

Looks delicious Katie. Looking forward to my book arriving. :)
-
We all enjoyed this one at Nico's class.
-
What a fabulous looking meal Katie 8) I must try cooking the focaccia in a tin too,thanks for passing on Nico's tip :-*

My DH has just given me a reminder that the lemon zest in the gnudi was quite strong. It wasn't over powering or unpleasant, but if I made them again I'd go easy on the lemon zest. I was going to write this in my review but I forgot.
-
It looks lovely Katie. I can see I may have to purchase this book. I have his other one and love it.
-
Looks delish Katie, am enjoying your reviews of Nico's recipes

-
The photos are back :D

Looks nice Katie. Wayne really enjoyed this at Nico's class so must get around to making it.
-
Delicious looking dish Katie.

I made this for dinner tonight's my DH requested it. This time I reduced the lemon zest a little.
My DH said "mmmm mmmm" after every single mouthful. After he finished his second helping, he said OMG that is sensational! I think he likes it!
Thermie is working well after it's service which is great.
-
Great news. It looks a delicious dish Katie. Have you made anything else from the book yet?
-
No Kimmy I haven't, I'm doing the 12wbt and not making a lot of new recipes from books at the moment.
Plenty of lovely things in this book though, I know Karenh has made the butter chicken (which we tasted at his class and it's delicious).
-
Hows is the 12wbt going Katie?
-
No Kimmy I haven't, I'm doing the 12wbt and not making a lot of new recipes from books at the moment

Good luck girls.

It's going well, 6 weeks in and I've lost 5.5 kgs (still a lot more to lose, but it's a start). Both myself and my DH are enjoying the recipes. Portion control is the hardest though.
I haven't been doing the 6 gym sessions a week though, I've been going 3 times and aiming for at least 10,000 steps every day.
Good luck Jam!

Fantastic Katie. It got my DD on track. We find he food yummy too.
-
Well done Katie. That is an achievement.
-
Congratulations on the weight loss Katie ;D
-
Katie, well done on the weightloss. Also going to the gym :)
-
Wow Katie. Well done and congratulations.

I made the tomato sauce part of this yesterday which is lovely in its own right and will be happy to use in other ways.
I took notice of the lemon zest issue in the gnudi so only used half a medium lemon and I think it was the perfect amount (for us anyway). Could pick up the lemon content without being overpowering.
Such a delicious meal and makes plenty so will be able to freeze in single serve amounts for DH to take to work.
I made one big one and had 5 balls left over so put them in a ramekin for an individual serving.
Served with a simple, help yourself salad. Will definitely be made again. :)

Gorgeous Julie!
My DH has declared this his favourite meal and he raves about it to anyone who will listen ;D
-
I don't blame him Katie, my DH (and 3 year old grandson) loved it too! ;D
-
Would some-one be able to tell me which book this recipe is in please.
I have several of Nico's books but can't find this recipe.
Thanks

Boot, it's on page 72 of his latest book called Cooking Passions Delicious Journeys. The book has Thermomix methods on the same page as traditional methods with most but not all recipes converted for the Thermomix.
The book is available for purchase here - http://www.urbanprovider.com.au/index.cfm?Page_ID=32

This recipe is our new family favourite. I have made it twice already and each makes enough for 8 serves we find. I really like the lemon flavour and use a whole lemon zest. I use a ice cream scoop to form the balls which makes it quick and easy. The sauce makes enough for two serves so 1/2 can be frozen to make the second batch even quicker. At our class Nicco's used some of the Ragu as a pizza base, on an olive oil short crust pastry, this was also yummy. I did sneak some confit garlic into my second batch of ragu, not because it needed any extra flavour mainly for my perceived health benefit.
