Swing and a miss!

Spiced carrot and feta gnocchi sounds like a sure bet for an amazing dinner. The picture in the recipe book inspired me to give this recipe a shot, and although it looked like a somewhat daunting effort, I thought it would be well worth the work.

As I was making the gnocchi and watching all of the dishes accumulate (I dirtied more dishes than anything else we've cooked recently. It was ridiculous!), the thought crossed my mind that this might not work out. Casting this thought aside, I pressed on. The sauce called for two tablespoons of mint, but I only added one. This still turned out to be too much mint and overwhelmed our palates. The gnocchi (sans sauce) was pretty good, except it was hard to perceive any of the feta cheese. It was a carrot and mint dominant dish.

It was not an altogether terrible recipe. I don't see us making this again any time soon, but with a few modifications, including volume as this recipe made about 8 times as much as the two of us ate, we could try this one again.
