Cookbook:Gnocchi

Gnocchi (singular: gnocco) are a class of small Italian dumplings sometimes considered a type of pasta. They can be homemade or purchased commercially.

Production
Gnocchi are typically made of wheat flour, with different varieties containing potatoes, ricotta, semolina, and/or eggs. To shape gnocchi, the dough is usually formed into thin ropes before cutting into small pieces. The pieces may then be further shaped by pressing, cutting, and rolling.

Storage
Fresh gnocchi will keep for a couple days, covered, in the refrigerator. They can also be frozen in air-tight containers or bags for long-term storage.

Cooking
Gnocchi can be simply boiled in salted water until they float to the surface and are cooked through. They may be served with a variety of sauces or baked into a gratin or casserole.
