gnocci for one

mash up the following in a mortar:

3 hazelnuts, toasted in a bare skillet with no oil. rub thier skins off in a dishtowel.
1 clove of garlic
5 olives
a small pinch of salt

1/3 of a pound of gnocci, cooked for a minute in boiling water, and finished in a skillet in:

a tablespoon of olive oil

after the gnocci brown a tiny bit, toss in:

1/2 of a largish heirloom tomato, diced,
and 1/2 of the olive-garlic paste

toss, let the tomatoes give up a tiny bit of their water

serve.

(mix the rest of the paste and the rest of the tomato dice, put in a bowl in the fridge, and eat the rest to-morrow, or if you are lucky, double the gnocci, and cook and share it all with someone.)
