I needed to throw together a quick pre-meal to dinner, which was going to be at least 2-hours out due to making some whole wheat focaccia, and I had this pre-made squash gnocci I could use, but needed to 'fix that up' somehow special. So here's what I spontaneously threw together based on some interesting ingredients I had on hand. I had bought out of curiosity this bag of dehydrates soy-protein clusters at an organic shop, so quickly reconstituted those in some hot water infused with garlic and paprika and some salt(instead of boullion which I'm out of still...), and then simultaneously reconstituted some dried seaweed in some lightly salted water,too. Once those were rehydrated 15 min later, drained the soy-protein-clusters, then sauteed the gnocci with those in some olive oil, then tossed in some tomato sauce, spiced with garlic, onion powder, fresh ground pepper, oregano, then tossed in the drained seaweed, and topped with a bit of fresh chopped basil. I was surprised how good this combination tasted, haha, next time I'd really intentionally recreate this!
