One of the challenges to eating a healthier diet and getting rid of processed, chemically laden food, is what to do when I need a meal quick. Items such as Macaroni and Cheese, Frozen Pizza and Ramen Noodles are out, what is a gal to do?
I thought I would share a quick meal that my family enjoys and only takes about 30 minutes from start to finish.
We are going to make Dumplings, without the chicken soup.
First off you start with 4 ingredients.
2 cups flour
2 eggs
water
salt
(a basic pasta dough recipe)
Put your flour in a bowl, add the eggs and a pinch of salt. then start mixing with your hands adding water as needed for a stiff dough.
(remember to take your rings off before mixing…..)
Then pinch off little sections of dough, I like to do them really small so they will cook faster.
The pop them into a pot of boiling water and cook until soft, about 15 minutes.
When they are done add whatever sauce you would like. Today I did tomato soup, I have used spagetti sauce and leftover gravy.
I topped that with some grated cheese.
A quick and easy meal that my kids LOVE.
WOW! That is awesome! Easy enough for me to try! As always – thanks for posting.
A perfect, easy, and quick pasta recipe!
I've never made dumplings, I'm scared of them LOL
BUT they're on my list of pioneer recipes to make this month… maybe I'll become a fan. I've never even tasted a dumpling. haha
