Had to stash away a little for future meals.  This time I opted for half whole wheat flour and half unbleached flour.  Added a little salt and pepper to the dough and sprinkled in a tad bit of olive oil prior to storage.

Thank you Lara for helping me with my first attempt at making Gnocchi.  In short, the gnocchi was the perfect accompaniment to a rainy afternoon here on the west coast of North America.

3 large potatoes

flour (2 parts potato – 1 part flour)

salt

pepper

olive oil

Boil potatoes until soft and cooked through

Peel potatoes while still warm and mash until smooth with a sprinkling of salt and pepper

Collect into a ball and lightly knead (I’m sure this could use some refining)

Cut dough into fist-sized pieces and roll into a 2cm thick rope.  Cut into small, bite-sized pieces.

Add to salted boiling water and cook until they float to the top (about 2 minutes).

Sprinkle with olive oil.

Mix with desired sauce, ingredients, etc.

Relax and enjoy!
