Found out today that gnocchi is actually pretty simple to make. Just take mashed potatoes (which you get by boiling potatoes, then mashing with a fork or other masher) with flour till you get a dough that feels like play doh. Let it sit for like 15 minutes, the roll it out into a snake the size of your middle finger to thumb. Cut diagonally into 1 in strips, and if you want, there are various ways to add texture. the easiest is putting the impression of a fork in them (mash a fork into them). toss them into boiling water till they float, put them in a bowl, cover with the sauce of your choice, usually a bolognese or other red sauce (aka, spaghetti sauce, if your in the US). it's also really filling, meaning you don't have to make much at a time.
