Gnocchi

As a housewife, I often find myself looking for quick and easy recipes that my family will enjoy. Gnocchi is one of those recipes. It's simple to make, and it's always a hit with my kids.

Gnocchi are a type of Italian pasta made from potatoes, flour, and eggs. They're typically shaped into small, round dumplings and boiled until they float to the top of the water. Gnocchi can be served with a variety of sauces, but my favorite way to serve them is with a simple tomato sauce.

To make gnocchi, you'll need:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 egg
• 2 potatoes

Instructions:

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

2. Peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes.

3. Add the potatoes to the boiling water and cook until they're tender but still firm, about 15 minutes.

4. Drain the potatoes and mash them with a fork or potato masher.

5. In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, flour, and egg. Knead the dough until it forms a ball.

6. Shape the dough into small, round dumplings.

7. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.

8. Drop the gnocchi into the boiling water and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until they've risen to the top.

9. Drain the gnocchi and serve with your favorite sauce.

Gnocchi are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They're perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal, or for a special occasion. Give them a try today and see for yourself!
