I made homemade gnocchi this Sunday. It wasn't bad, but it could be better. It ended up more like dumplings, which may be correct. I had never had gnocchi before. Basically, you boil 3-4 potatoes until tender. Drain and mash. Add lots of salt. Add 1 1/4 cup flour and roll into dough. Knead until smooth and in a ball. Separate and roll into 3 1 inch diameter rolls. Cut inch long shapes/cubes. Then drop them into boiling water. Watch them float to the top and you know they're ready. The sauce was heavy cream and Gorgonzola cheese, blue cheese sauce. It was very blue cheesy. It was dense, and bland. Today, however, I ate some leftovers. It was way better, and I added some pepper and mozzarella cheese to tone down the blue cheese. It was tastier. I made this as an entree, but it is definitely a starter or side. If you feel adventurous, go for it. I just wanted to try new food.
