gnocchi with Marinara and Fettacine sauce

This recipe was really good and saved me from going to Noodles and Co. for dinner. It's hard being hopelessly low on cash at ALL times!  This is a badly lit photo...It tasted and looked a lot better than what this picture presents!

1/2 package whole wheat sweet potato gnocchi (or gnocchi of your choice)

2 tomatoes

1/2 cup onion

2 garlic cloves

2 Tbs. olive oil

1/4 c. milk

1/4 tsp. nutmeg

2 Tbs. whole wheat flour

1/2 Tbs. Butter or butter substitute

2 portabella mushrooms cut into chunks

Freshly ground pepper

Cook gnocchi according to directions (place in boiling water with salt, when gnocchi rises to top of water take out) pour 1/2 Tbs. olive oil over gnocchi and set aside.

Boil Tomatoes 4-5 min. take out and cut into med. size chunks.

heat up remaining olive oil and add onions and garlic over med heat until onions are translucent. Add chopped tomatoes AND mushrooms to onions and garlic let simmer for 2-3 min.
