Homemade Gnocchi

I have not tried this recipe yet, but I intend to soon. According to the article, that came with the recipe in this morning's local newspaper, these gnocchi are light as a feather. The recipe comes from a former fine dining establishment in our area that we used to go to very often and the food was outstanding! I am guessing at the prep and cook times.

    I have always wanted to make homemade gnocchi, but the thought was frightening... my family abosuletly loves gnocchi and I decided to try this recipe after lots of searching on the internet. The preparation time was a lot longer for me than suggested. But the dough was easy to manage once mixed... it felt "right" in your hands. I made a small batch to try first and WOW delicious!!!!!! I can't wait to make it for the family tomorrow. They were light, and well... they melted in my mouth. Very tasty. I split the dough, rolled them into smaller balls, wrapped in plastic wrap put them in a freezer bag and I will finish shaping them tomorrow. Hopefully I will be able to freeze some. Now I need Alice Fazoolis recipe for Gnocchi alla vodka, I had that and it was to die for. I used parmesan cheese instead of romano and I clarified my own butter as in the recipe. This will be a keeper.

    Yum! Great texture. I substituted the ricotto with cottage cheese and the romano cheese with parmesan. I topped it with pesto sauce.

    Gnocchi made with just baked potato are a little hard, made with just ricotta too soft, but the mixing of the two ..just right.
