Steps:

- 1) Pinch the pillow shapes so that the ends touch.
- 2) Using the back of a fork, press and roll the gnocchi towards you. The aim is to create grooves that go all the way around the gnocchi. These catch sauce and make the pasta cook faster.
- 3) Transfer the finished gnocchi to a lightly floured plate where they can hang out and get to know one another. Don't let them get too friendly or they'll stick together when you try to cook them.
- These gnocchi were made with a tomato based sauce. You could also make a curry/coconut milk sauce or a white sauce (which would show off their funky colour).
- I made a tomato sauce with leftover deli olives.
- When your sauce is almost done, boil a large pot of salted water.
- When it's boiling, dump the gnocchi gently into the pot, being careful not to burn yourself, and being careful that they don't stick together.
- Continue to boil the gnocchi for 2-4 minutes.
- The gnocchi are done when they all float up to the top (if you're unsure, you can taste one. It should be chewy, but cooked through).
- Drain the gnocchi in a colander.
- Return the gnocchi to the pot and add the finished sauce a spoonful at a time until all the pasta is nicely coated. When your sauce is almost done, boil a large pot of salted water.
