Super easy to make...little time consuming in the preparation of the actual pasta.
4 large potatoes....whatever tickles your fancy!!
2 cups of flour
salt to taste
2 cloves of garlic
Boil the cleaned potatoes in salted water until tender...DO NOT OVER COOK!!!
Once the potatoes are cooked, peel and mash them, salt, add half a cup at a time until dough consistency...do not over flower...you will get heavy gnocchi.
Knead dough on a floured surface and split into 5 - 8 sections. Roll each section until about 3/4 in. thick and about 10 in. in length. Cut into 3/4 inch think pieces and make depressions with a fork for a design (completely optional)
Drop formed gnocchi into a pot of salted boiling water I like to add garlic to my water to taste (again completely optional) They are finished when they are floating...DO NOT OVERCOOK...aldente is better!!!
Buen Provecho/Bon Appetit
