Gnocci is like a pasta almost but not really... it's a combo between a
potato dish and a pasta. Fortunately this pasta is super simple to make.
3 medium (1 lb) potatoes washed
1 t. salt
1/4 t. seasoning of choice
1/4 c. soy yogurt or milk
1/2 c. plus 1-2 Tbs flour
1.wash the potatoes super well and put them in a pot. Cover it with
water and add the salt. Boil the poatoes about 30-40 minutes until
they're cooked all the way through. Poke them with knife to check. Put
them on a surface and pull the skins off them. You can wait for them to
cool, pull the water off under some running water of you can do it like i
did and suck it up. :p
2. The recipe that i used said to put them through a potato ricer. A
potato ricer is like a big press that will press the potato super fine. I
didn't have that and i couldn't press it though my seive, it was too
small. So what i did was mashed it with a fork and then beat it with a
baking beater thing. It made it nice and fluffy so i think i got what
was wanted.
2.5 boil a big pot of water for cooking the "pasta"
3. Add the seasoning and yogurt to the potato and then put in the flour.
you might need to add some more flour to be able to knead it. Knead out
the potato mixture on a floured surface for a few minutes. Add flour
when needed. Divide into small parts and make about 3/4 inch thick and
18 inches long. Cut into about 1/2 inch long pieces. Roll them into nice
little balls ish.... After you've cut about half to 1/4th of the
gnocci, put them into the lightly boiling water. If the water is
boiling to hard, it will break the gnocci. The gnocci will go to the
bottom and when they float, they'll be done. When they're done, take
them out with a strainer spoon and put them in a dish.
4. You can eat gnocci with stuff on it, i prefer to eat it like a little side dish with tons of veggies. :D
Sorry about no pictures but they were eaten before i could get any
pictures... usually i have left over of these kinds of things... not
this time!!
