Nanna's Gnocchi image

My nanna was from Italy, I loved it when she made gnocchi. It is a very time consuming process, but well worth the effort! The recipe can be varied with the addition of other ingredients (spinach, pumpkin, mushroom, herbs...) just let your imagination run wild! Serve with any sauce that tickles your fancy & lots of parmesan!!!

I've tried many gnocchi recipes, and this one is by far the best. The gnocchi are light and fluffy, and the sauce is flavorful. I highly recommend this recipe!

Overall, I thought this recipe was good. The gnocchi were light and fluffy, and the sauce was flavorful. However, I would make a few changes next time. I would add more liquid to the dough, and I would add some garlic and herbs to the sauce.

The sauce was too bland for me. I added some garlic and herbs to it, and it was much better.

These gnocchi were a bit too dense for my taste. I think I would add more liquid to the dough next time.

These gnocchi were delicious! I used a gluten-free flour blend, and they turned out great. The sauce was also very good. I will definitely be making this again.

Made this last night and it was a hit! The gnocchi were light and fluffy, and the sauce was creamy and flavorful. I added some sautéed mushrooms and spinach to the sauce, and it was even better. This is definitely a keeper!
