| Baked Gnocchi BologneseType: food Show/Hide Recipe INGREDIENTS: 1x20g pack of fresh basil 1x500g packet fresh gnocchi 1x300g tub bolognese sauce 1x300g tub four cheese sauce 3oz (75g) grated mozzarella 2 tablespoons fresh, grated Parmigiano Reggiano Whole nutmeg Salt and freshly milled black pepper *** You will also need an oblong (8in x 6in x 1.5 in/ 20cm x 15cm x 4cm)or square medium sized baking dish. Preheat the oven to gas mark 4, 350F (180C). The only preparation work you’re going to do is start by chopping the basil leaves – leaving aside 4 nice small sprigs for a garnish – and boil the gnocchi. To do this bring a large pan of water up to boiling point, add some salt and tip in the gnocchi. Cook them for about 3 minutes: as they’re cooking they rise to the surface, and at that point you hike them out into a bowl, using a draining spoon. After that spread half the Bolognese sauce over the base of the baking dish and follow that with half the cheese sauce. Next add all the cooked gnocchi in a layer and season with salt and pepper. Now sprinkle in the chopped basil, plus half the mozzarella, followed by the rest of the Bolognese sauce and then the remainder of the cheese sauce. Top with the remaining grated mozzarella, a few gratings of nutmeg, and finally the grated Parmigiano Reggiano. Bake in the oven on a high shelf for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is brown and bubbling. Leave it to settle out of the oven for 10 minutes before serving, and garnish each portion with a small basil sprig. A green salad is a good accompaniment. | Dan Radcliffe's (Harry Potter) favorite | |||

| butterbeerType: drink Show/Hide Recipe Root Beer Butter Coffee Cream Butterscotch (chips, sauce or both!) Pour the root beer/cream soda in a cup. Place the buter and butterscotch in a small bowl. Put the bowl of butter and butterscotch in the microwave and melt it. Then put the root beer in the microwave, but not for too long because you want it to be moderately warm or it won't be fizzy and it won't be fizzy anymore! Pour some melted butter and butterscotch in the rootbeer, but not too much! Then pour some cream (coffee cream) in. Then stir it all up. It may take a few times to make it to your liking! | ||||
| butterbeerType: drink Show/Hide Recipe 2/3 cup tea 1/3 cup cream or milk 1 1/2 tbsp. sugar Very small amount of pure vanilla extract (1/4 tsp. or less) Stir together and enjoy. ***Some people do not find the taste of the 'butterbeer' appealing, or it is not their idea that they had imagined when reading about butterbeer, so here are some suggestions of add-ins to make the flavor closer to your own idea: Hot cocoa powder Coffee Malt drink powder, such as Horlicks*** | ||||
| butterbeer, chilledType: drink Show/Hide Recipe 8 oz. ginger ale or cream soda (seems to work better) 2-3 tablespoons of butterscotch syrup Mix in a tall glass and serve over ice. | ||||
| butterbeer, chilledType: drink Show/Hide Recipe 1 cup butterscotch schnapps 7 cups cream soda (almost one 2 liter bottle) Carefully mix just before serving, adding the schnapps to the soda then stirring gently to mix well, or the fizz will dissipate too soon. You can also find butterscotch flavoring near the vanilla flavoring in the baking section of the grocery store, but it is more difficult to find, and actually the flavoring is 35% alcohol where the schnapps is only 15% alcohol by volume, so if you're making large quantities of butterbeer, I recommend just to buy the schnapps. There is not much alcohol content in the butterbeer mixture, just enough to make a house-elf tipsy and to give it the warm, buttery aftertaste to the fizzy cream soda. | alcoholic | |||

| juice, pumpkinType: drink Show/Hide Recipe Bake your Halloween jack o'lantern in the oven. (watch the face distort and shrink - it's fun!) Strain your pumpkin, saving the juice separately from the strained pumpkin. Serve your chilled pumpkin juice to your guests! This takes a good hour or two, depending on the size of your jack o'lantern, so keep checking your pumpkin as it is baking. Use a cookie sheet underneath so you can easily take the hot mushy pumpkin out of the oven and to catch any drippings. If your pumpkin was not carved, cut it in half before baking, otherwise it could explode and make a GIGANTIC mess! You will see that the juice separates from the pumpkin flesh as it starts to bake, so spoon off this juice periodically and save it so it doesn't leak all over your oven. Once your pumpkin flesh has baked long enough to be good and soft, remove from the oven and let it cool. Scoop the pumpkin flesh from the skin into a strainer with a container underneath. Use a spoon to squeeze out the juice from the pumpkin, so you have as "solid" a puree as possible, which you should save for your Pumpkin Pasties, pumpkin bread, or your favorite pie recipe. | ||||
