Gnocchi
- 4 medium potatoes, boiled
- 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 c. flour
- 1 tsp. salt
- Italian cheese
- Wash, peel and dice potatoes (about 3 1/2 cups).
- Steam potatoes until tender, then pass through ricer onto a floured board.
- Sprinkle potatoes with salt, then work flour and potatoes until firm (about 5 minutes).
- Cut dough into several pieces and roll each piece into a long thin roll (about 1/2 inch in diameter). Cut each roll into tiny pillows.
- Dip fork into flour and roll each pillow on the tine of the fork, pressing down with the thumb to make an indentation.
- Other side of pillow will have ridges from the fork.
- Roll Gnocchi on a floured board.
- In large kettle, bring salted water to a rolling boil.
- Drop the Gnocchi into the water. When they surface, after a few minutes of boiling, drain and serve with spaghetti sauce, (we call spaghetti sauce sugo) and the Italian grated cheese.
- Either Romano or Parmesan will do the trick.
