Raine taught me how to make hand-"thrown" gnocchi tonight. What fun! This italian pasta is very similar to German Spaetzle except that there is lots of potato in the mix. The basic recipe calls for baked potatoes (riced), flour, egg, lemon zest and nutmeg. Pictured above is a gnocchi board and a pastry knife-like tool to quickly flip the little gnocchi (or knuckles) off the board.
After boiling until they rise, you simply fry them in a little butter to brown. Raine added fresh peas, shitake mushrooms, parmesan, onion, garlic and cream to make a sauce. Delish!
