Ingredients

→ Main ingredients

01 500g fresh potato noodles/dumplings (from the refrigerated section)

02 100g diced prosciutto or ham

03 100g cherry tomatoes

04 150g light crème fraîche or sour cream

05 2 green onions (scallions)

06 1 garlic clove

07 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

→ Seasonings

08 ½ teaspoon salt

09 ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

10 1 teaspoon Italian herb blend

Instructions

Step 01

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) using the conventional setting. Halve the cherry tomatoes and slice the green onions into thin rings. Mince or press the garlic clove.

Step 02

In a shallow baking dish, combine the potato noodles, diced prosciutto, halved tomatoes, and pressed garlic. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and Italian herbs, then drizzle with olive oil. Toss everything gently until well mixed and evenly distributed.

Step 03

Create a small well in the center of the mixture and spoon the light crème fraîche into it. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the edges of the potato noodles turn golden and crispy.

Step 04

Remove from the oven and immediately stir in the sliced green onions, allowing them to slightly wilt from the residual heat. The crème fraîche will have melted into a creamy sauce that coats everything beautifully.

Notes

Regular crème fraîche can be substituted for the light version if preferred for a richer taste.

This is a quick and uncomplicated weeknight dinner that comes together in just 30 minutes.
