4. Step
Dip the feta in the water so that it is coated on all sides. Then, dip it in the cornstarch and coat the feta on all sides. Return the feta to the water and coat the feta again on all sides. Then, move the feta to the sesame seed mixture and press the feta into it, pressing down carefully, and turning it if needed so the feta is completely coated with sesame seeds on all sides.

5. Step
Place the feta in the pan with the warm oil and turn the heat to low to prevent burning. Cook the feta for 5 minutes on one side, then flip the feta and cook it on the other side for 3 minutes. The sesame seeds will be light brown and toasted.

Pizza Dough Gnocchi
We got the idea for these impromptu gnocchi from our Home Cooking community discussion board. All you need is half a pound of pizza dough, a pot of boiling salted water, and a sauce (marinara is perfect). Enlist your kids to help with the shaping, then let them watch you poaching the dough and tossing it in the sauce. What to buy: Premade pizza dough is available bagged in 14- or 16-ounce portions at well-stocked groceries.
