gnocchi

rolled with love

choose a vegetable: potatoes, sweet potatoes, broccoli, yams, beetroots, carrots, green peas, spinach and butternut squash even!!
i have only tried boiling my veggies for gnocchi but i believe that roasting them would be better (gluten develops slower when roasted especially in the potatoes; makes the dough less sticky)
mash the boiled veggie as finely as you want. i prefer not having chunks of veggie in my dough as rolling each gnocchi feels lumpy.
sprinkle salt and pepper or any other spice onto the veggies.
add in a cup of flour and knead it in. keep adding flour till you reach a good rolling consistency.
smoothen out the dough and let it rest in covered bowl for 10 minutes.
prep your counter and another bowl with flour and divide the dough into workable pieces (the size of a fist)
roll out the piece into a thin log and use a butter knife to cut the log into the size you would like your gnochhi to be.
dust your hand with flour and roll out each piece against your palms or even a gnochi board!
drop the pieces into the flour coated bowl roll them around so they get covred in flour.
these can be dropped in boiling water and cooked till they rise to the surface + 5 minutes :)
to store them, use ziplock bags and which will keep them good to use in the freezer for at least a month.
