Description

Gnocchi! Fun to say. Fun to make. This is NOT your Naunie’s Gnocchi! (Naunnie was my Italian grandmother) This “cheat” recipe uses potato flakes (horrors!) in place of the usual mashed potatoes. With the aid of a food processor and a few simple ingredients you can knock out these tasty, satisfying little Italian dumplings in no time. Serve with a sauce of your choice or just a little grated Parmesan cheese. I use them as a side with meatballs or sausage or serve them alone as a snack or lunch. Growing up we never had gnocchi, but as much as my kids love them this will hopefully become a new family tradition!
