Gnocchi - DFen911 - 03-16-2008 Well for dinner tonight I did gnocchi. I must say I love gnocchi but it's a lot of work. Boil, peel and rice the potatoes. Add flour, work it in, work in more. Let it rest a tad, roll it out, cut it, put on the board, boil it, make the sauce...but it's OH so worth it!!! Now I decided to make a brown butter sage sauce. This is just as it's started, but it only takes a few moments to brown the butter. I also made a loaf of the Irish soda bread. This bread was great! And I made another loaf of the 18 hour bread. Weather is suppose to be icky tomorrow so it'll be more bread and probably some cinnamon rolls Re: Gnocchi - Harborwitch - 03-16-2008 Oh gawd those look so good! I screwed up a batch the other night - I knew I did it, and was so tired I just didn't care a bunch. Except that they really gummed up my cavatelli maker. (By the way - just for giggles - Martha Stewart doesn't own a cavatelli maker! She had a chef on that used one the other day. Giggle) Re: Gnocchi - Gourmet_Mom - 03-16-2008 OH MY! Those look soooo good! I have never had gnocchi before.....maybe someday. I have never even seen it on a menu around here. Hopefully, someday, I'll get to travel a bit more and have a wider range of food experiences. I live vicariously through you guys and even try some of this stuff, too! Maybe I should put gnocchi on my summer "to do" list. The sad thing is, I would have NO idea if I was doing it right, as I have no reference for comparison. Oh well! Re: Gnocchi - luvnit - 03-16-2008 Oh Denise, those look sooooooo good! I really want to try to make those. I will have to get one of those cavatelli(?) makers too. I can't believe Martha doesn't have one. She seems like she would have 5 of them all with some interesting story attached to it. Like, "Oh, I handcrafted this one out of red clay. I glazed and fired it in the prison kiln. Then I made gnocchi for all of the inmates." Re: Gnocchi - luvnit - 03-16-2008 Oh gosh now I found a really cool one. Look! Would this be cheating? Re: Gnocchi - labradors - 03-16-2008 Hmmm... Have never seen that kind of machine. For that matter, that ridged board in the earlier picture is interesting, too. Any time I've ever seen someone make gnocchi, they just used a fork. Re: Gnocchi - cjs - 03-16-2008 Oh my, I've never seen a gnocchi machine before... Denise, great pictures and making me darn hungry!! Yes, Daphne, you need to add gnocchi making to your summer list for sure. I think you'd love the experience and your family would probably go crazy for them. Re: Gnocchi - luvnit - 03-16-2008 The machine is only $29! Not a bad price I think and kinda cool. It'd be nice to share one with someone for as many times as you'd probably use it. Re: Gnocchi - DFen911 - 03-16-2008 No machines that takes away from the fun of making gnocchi Lab, I have never used a fork before. I have a gnocchi paddle for years. Lol weird to think of using a fork, probably as odd as it is for you to see the paddle. Amazing how we get used to things. It's really good to make with butternut squash too. I've been experimenting with a dessert gnocchi using tapioca rice and powered sugar. Still playing with that recipe Re: Gnocchi - Harborwitch - 03-16-2008 That's the one I have! Love it! We made sweet potato cavatelli with it one night - very good. Daphne I've found gnocchi in the frozen food section and if you have a cost plus or trader joe's you should be able to find them vac. sealed in the pasta section.
