@Giles gotta love a new recipe to add into the rotation

[Giles]

It's an absolute delight, and super easy. Paula thought she disliked gnocchi and spinach, so I cooked her something else to eat when I made this. She's now in love

[flannel slut]

Reading over the recipe... sounds like a can't miss. Do you use pre-made/store bought gnocchi or have a separate recipe for this as well?

[JDelage]

I've been thinking of making gnocchis from scratch. I've seen a few recipes on IG. It seems doable.

@flannel-slut

5:1 of potato:flour, 00 or plain white.
Look for larger, floury potatoes. Bake in the oven until completey cooked, if you can find salt locally thats not super expensive, do them on a salt bed to sap out liquid as they bake.

Scoop flesh out the spuds, pass through a ricer or mash well by hand, mix with flour and an egg yolk or two depending on the size of the batch, roll into dough ball, cut portion off, roll into sasuage, then cut sausage into gnocchi size pieces.

To cook, add to boiling water and when they float they are cooked

[popvulture]

Man those look good.

Also I read back and now I want gnocchi. With a little brown butter and sage, mmm

[Tago Mago]

@flannel-slut sorry for the delay. I'll try and share tomorrow. Have to translate it first

[Tago Mago]

@Alex looks amazing. So many great things to try, so little time to actually do it

[Fades for future]

Yep, again...

[JDelage]

Made (from scratch) gnocchi, with a creamy chorizo sauce. It was pretty good, but I’m not very efficient at making then.

[flannel slut]

very nice, looks delicious!
So the common critique or compliment when making gnocchi is usually the consistency: dense or fluffy. How do you forum gnocchi makers control these results???
