Miss M and I cooked a batch of gnocchi for dinner. I learned the art of this savory dish from my gourmet cook friend, Arielle. I wish she would start a gourmet cooking blog. Someday, she says. Meanwhile, I will continue to be her willing student and blog some of her dishes myself:
After baking potatoes (or in my case, I boiled them), put them through a ricer. I forgot, though, and mashed them instead.
Add some grated Reggiano Parmesano cheese

Add some grated Reggiano Parmesano cheese Stir or mash in a couple of eggs (or more if a big batch). Add a bit of olive oil, salt and pepper.
By hand, mix in 2 cups flour (more if a big batch). It is now ready to form into whatever size gnocchi you want.
This is a gnocchi board, used to rolls the gnocchi on to give it ridges
Miss M is flipping the gnocchi off the board with a flick of her wrist
Bring a large pot of water to boil, and drop the gnocchi into it. They will sink to the bottom. After they float to the top, let them boil another 2-3 minutes.
Scoop them out with a pasta scoop, or some kind of slotted spoon.
Place several on a plate and top with tomato or pesto sauce. Here we used some of the very tasty tomato sauce that Ryan, Darrell and I made last fall.
Gnocchi, garlic bread and broccoli with a lot of garlic........ mmmmmm....... one of my favorites!

Wow, that's an impressive meal!
oh that looks good...where can you find one of thoe nifty roller thingies...?
I believe we found it at a kitchen store...... like Sur La Tab. It is optional, though. You can have gnocchi without ridges.... but it seems to be a trademark of gnocchi.
