Gnocchi

Gnocchi recipes have been around for centuries, with the earliest known version dating back to the 14th century. The dish is thought to have originated in the Italian city of Genoa, and was made with a mixture of flour, water and salt. Over the years, the recipe has been adapted and changed to suit the tastes of different cultures, with the addition of potato, cheese and herbs being common additions. Today, gnocchi is a popular dish in Italy and around the world, and can be served as a starter, main course or even a dessert.

Advice

Making gnocchi is a fun and delicious way to enjoy a hearty Italian meal. For best results, be sure to use the freshest ingredients possible. Start by boiling the potatoes until they are nice and soft, then mash them until they are smooth. Once the dough is made, roll it into a long log and cut it into pieces, then roll each piece into a ball. Be careful not to overwork the dough or else the gnocchi will become tough. When you're ready to cook the gnocchi, add them to boiling salted water and cook until they float to the top. Serve with your favorite sauce and you'll have a delicious meal in no time!
