Gnocchi à la Parisienne (Parisian Gnocchi) with Pine Nuts & Sage Brown Butter Sauce

Pillowy soft, extra buttery and cheesy gnocchi  à la Parisienne 
Served with golden pine nuts and sage brown butter sauce. 
A must-try light and delicious gnocchi recipe!

This recipe is written in collaboration with Taste Europe, Butter of France. All opinions are mine alone. 

Here is a NEW gnocchi recipe for you to try!

These deliciously soft and mouthwatering gnocchi are not your traditional Italian potato gnocchi ... nor ricotta, or pumpkin, or semolina.

These gnocchi are a French inspired version made with pâte à choux, which is the same (or similar) savory dough that it's used to make eclairs: a simple mixture that starts with melted butter, hot water/milk, plus flour and then eggs.

For these gnocchi à la Parisienne, I flavored  the dough with a combination of Gruyere and Parmesan cheese and a touch of nutmeg.

Banana Trifle with Mascarpone Cream and Caramelized Pecans ( Eggless & NO-BAKE Dessert)

Brace yourself for some drooling after you see the recipe for this rich and creamy trifle dessert made with layers of mascarpone cream, banana slices, espresso-soaked vanilla wafers and caramelized pecan pieces. 
No bake and no eggs in this recipe!

I could call this amazing creation a tiramisu' given that, just like tiramisu', it's a creamy and rich dessert filled with mascarpone cream layered with coffee-flavored cookies. 

But  I'm such a purist (...with true Italian blood!) and I don't dare taking anything away from THE classic Tiramisu' recipe, with its perfect savoiardi cookies soaked in espresso and the velvety mascarpone cream made with eggs. 

So today I'm calling this dessert a trifle, filled with layers and layers of tiramisu-inspired deliciousness. And more!

Here is another recipe you can make when you have some leftover spotty brown bananas that no one wants to eat. 

These muffins are just as soft and moist, delicious and flavorful as my  chocolate-walnuts banana bread (which many of you tried already and loved it!!). 

They taste just as good but are more convenient and portable. 

AND (major added bonus!) are a quite a bit faster to bake.
