Gnocci

[hrh_disney_queen]

I LOVE them! I have a package and am looking for a new sauce/preparation for them..

I have had them with a cream/Alfredo sauce with gorgonzola cheese..yummm
Today I had some with a little olive oil, garlic, parmesan cheese, butter. yummmm

Any other ideas?

Would also love an easy recipe to make my own little potato dumplings..

Put them in Chili. It sounds strange but is REALLY GOOD!

regular spicy tomato sauce

I don't eat them anymore because take a look at the sodium content on those packaged ones!!
But they are delicious. I want to live.

I loooooove Gnocchi!

I'm a simple girl, who prefers things very healthy. SO - I load them up with butter and salt. They are fantastic!

Cook frozen spinach according to package directions. Saute garlic in olive oil, add spinach & cooked gnocchi.

 

[WhereOWhere]

Ok, now that sounded like someting I would want to do.

Gnocchi with bolognese sause. Gnocchi with marinara sauce and then baked with mozzarella cheese. Mmmm

 

[Bildmouse]

We fry them in butter and onion - add a little salt -- YUMMY!!

Potato Gnocchi are served with meat sauce only. Ricotta gnocchi I also like with meat sauce but DH likes with browned butter and grated cheese.

I've made both but the Ricotta Gnocchi are easier so I make that one the most since I don't roll those out.

Pan-fried gnocchi is delicious!

I don't think I've ever heard of Ricotta Gnocchi..sounds wonderful...

Easy as could be. Get a 1, 2 or 3 lb container of Ricotta. Use 1 egg for 1 lb, 2eggs for 2 lbs and 3 eggs for 3 lbs. Scrape cheese into a bowl, crack in the appropriate amount of eggs, season with salt and pepper(I do not measure this) mix well. Then take the ricotta container and fill it 3/4 of the way full with flour and mix that gradually into the cheese mixture.

To cook get a big pot of salted water going and a regular metal spoon. Dip the spoon in the water, use it to scrape a bit of dough and plop it into the water, keep going until you have a pot full. If the spoon is wet the dough comes off easier.

Let cook for 2 minutes after you put in the last bit of dough them remove with a slotted spoon or handheld strainer. Keep warm in the oven while you scrape, plop and cook the rest.

They're not "pretty" but it beats the hell out of boiling potatoes, ricing them, laying them out on the counter, mixing with eggs, flour , salt and pepper, kneeding into a dough, rolling into strips, cutting into balls and rolling them off of your fork... LOL
