- Blend or process basil and cold water.
- After is processed, pour over mashed potatos and mix well

- Combine until smooth
- Add the flour.
- 1 cup first, then another cup and the remaining 1/2 cup.
- Knead well after each adittion.
- You need a dough that doesn't stick to your hands
- Divide the dough in 4.
- Take a piede and make the shape of a little snake and cut it.
- like an inch each piece and spread a little flour so they don't stick.
- Make the same process with the whole dough
- In a tall sauce pan with boiling water, pour the gnocchi and when the float in the water they're ready.
- Take them out of the water and transfer them into a plate with a little olive oil so they don't stick in the bottom of it
- Serve with the sauce you want.
- I recomend a Alfredo sauce.
