Herb dumplings gratin with tomato sauce
Mmm, if we could only include the divine smell of these herb dumplings gratin in this description. You would love it, it's so lovely. On the one hand, we have light cottage cheese and mascarpone dumplings with fresh, homegrown herbs, and on the other hand, fresh, delicious tomato sauce with juicy, homegrown tomatoes. We also decided to add a bit of parmesan cheese and place them in the oven for 10 minutes so that you get that excellent cheesy texture. Yum. This combination is heavenly good. It's great for starters, entrees, or for main dish/dinner as well. It's a simple recipe, easy to prepare, seasonal, light, and highly delicious.
