We are the Gnocchi. We will add your technological and gastronomical distinctiveness to our own. Resistance is futile. Prepare to be assimilated.

Gnocchi. Gnocchi gnocchi gnocchi. You'd think that something pronounced like "Nokey" would have a spelling that would make sense. Anyway, we made gnocchi and tomato sauce for this assignment a week or two ago. Seeing as there's really nothing to compare between the two recipes, let us take a closer look at them.

Recipe #1: Potato Gnocchi
  Tasty. Quick and easy to make. Exactly three commonly found ingredients. I don't really see why I need to go more in-depth about the virtues of this recipe, but I will anyway. We made it with flour, mashed potatoes and an egg. It took about five minutes to thoroughly mix it up and another ten to shape the noodles. Then about three minutes to cook it. It tasted wonderful (A little gummy, but only because I made the noodles too thick) I will definitely make this again- My mother has already commissioned me to make a batch for Pot Luck on Sunday.

Recipe #2: Tomato Sauce
  Yes! More stuff with tomato sauce. This time it was a companion dish to pasta, rather than grilled cheese sandwiches. It was made basically the same as the gourmet sandwich recipe, with a few different ingredients and procedures (I can't remember exactly, but it turned out much thicker.) It tasted about the same, too. Very nice. I want to try this recipe with an alfredo sauce instead of tomato sauce one day.

  1. Alfredo sauce would be wonderful with your gnocchi. I hope you get to enjoy them soon!
