This is our 'go-to' gnocchi recipe. It's relatively easy once you get used to handling the dough. These are light and airy- the way we like our gnocchi. Since I've made these countless times, it takes about fifteen minutes to whip out two batches after I've pressed the potatoes. I must admit, I was so worried about overworking the dough when I first started making these- don't fret- gently fold and roll and have a glass of wine and you'll be fine!

A few tips- make sure to add plenty of freshly grated cheese and nutmeg, make sure whatever pan or sheet they're resting on before cooking has plenty of flour- mine used to stick together until I dusted them and don't overcook!

I've made these with marinara, cream and mushroom sauce with rave reviews!

The recipe came together very well and was easy if you have the time. Count on a full two hours before dinner time.
However, the gnocchi itself was a little bland. Plenty of salt in the water didn't seem to help. I'm not sure what I'll do to fix this on my next attempt other than add more salt in the dough itself.

Folks,look no farther for a great gnocchi recipe as you have just found it here.I just made these and put into my own cream sauce that I came up with last week.To copy an old saying,you could spread my sauce on a car bumper and it would be good.Anyway,like other's we like our gnocchi dense too.These are so good and I only made a few changes as I usually do.I added one Tablespoon of blended organic basil from a tube and a little more of the parmesan cheese.My fiancee's mom has given me a lot of her italian cooking secrets but never told me anything about how she makes gnocchi.I had him taste them after I put them in my sauce and he is very impressed.He says mom never put nutmeg in her's and he loves it this way better than her's.The nutmeg really makes a difference in the overall flavor.Another good thing is my sauce really adhered to the gnocchi's.You have shared a very good recipe with us and I thank you so much.By the way,we don't plan on telling mom that your's is better!!LOL

Do it! I researched several recipes before settling on this one-and I am happy I did! Only changes were that i Added another 1/4 cup of parmigiano so it could be a bit more prominent and only did 2 egg yolks- and these were delicious! I overworked the dough on purpose since my husband and I like our gnocchi dense and heavy, not light and fluffy! Served them 2 ways- baked alla sorrentina(with moz and tomato sauce and then with a truffle & sage butter sauce...both were divine and worked perfectly with this gnocchi...don't be scared of the nutmeg-it's a great flavor add in that's in the background and makes you think"wow, what's in this?!" Enjoy!

I give this recipe a five star! The gnocchi I made with this recipe were so light and fluffy. Few key notes/changes to the recipe:
1. Added some finely chopped basil and rosemary to the dough.
2. Increased the ground pepper to 1 tsp. Make sure you powder the pepper otherwise you will get a grainy texture.
3. Used only 1/2 of the flour (1/2 cup
4. It took me more than 90 seconds to boil the gnocchi. I would say boil them till they float to the surface.

Okay as I was rollling these, I swore that I would never make them again...too much work. Then I tasted them, and am committed to making them all the time! They are delicious, light and fluffy. I did not put in the nutmeg, but served them with my tomato gravy. What a great meal!

Delicious,! I served this for Easter and everyone couldn't get enough - they came out pillow soft and delectable. In making them, I used only one whole egg and one egg yolk. I boiled the potatoes starting in cold water unpeeled, until fork tender. The dough was VERY sticky and needed 2 cups of flour in order to roll out. I did not have success using a fork to "dimple" them, therefore, I used my thumb after dipping it into flour.

I made two sauces; a tomato-basil sauce and a wild mushroom sauce using evaporated milk instead of heavy cream. As I skimmed the gnocchi out of the pot, I tossed them into a warmed skillet with one of the sauces and cooked them for just one minute, topping with Parmesan cheese. Everyone's comments were FANTASTIC!

Wow, this was so cool and so much fun. We had another couple over to make the gnocchi with us. We made it exactly as the recipe stated (except, although I bought the gray salt, I forgot to use it - I used regular salt instead. Before we started, we watched the "Italian Recipes - Shaping Gnocchi Dough" video on YouTube, which helped a lot. Very simple technique. We made a triple batch with some for dinner, and some to freeze and send home with our friends. We used Martha Stewart's Gnocchi with Wild Mushroom Sauce recipe (but with this gnocchi. It was fabulous! And, we had never made gnocchi before. I was so proud of us. :oD Reminded me of the gnocchi I had in Italy. Excellent.

This recipe was great!! Just like my grandmother made them. I used a tomato sauce with stew beef in it. Wonderful!
