Gnocchi

[nadgersbadgers]

Lord help me. I've conceded to my children who have gnocchi regularly at their dads I hate it

How can I make it lovely? I've bought the premade stuff from super market. Any good recipes / methods. It seems like claggy snot to me.

It needs to be roasted, boiling it makes it soggy if you overcook it.

This recipe from the Roasting Tin book is
My favourite.

I boil it and then fry it so it gets brown and crispy. Much better than the snot texture.

Don’t do a sauce- toss cooked gnocchi in bacon, spinach and mushrooms fried with garlic. Serve with Parmesan.

This is my favourite gnocchi recipe

Pan fry in garlic butter after boiling it. Then add pesto

It needs to come out as soon as it floats to the surface of the water to avoid becoming soggy. Never tried it roasted, but I have used recipes where you pan fry after boiling which I guess has a similar effect.

Homemade is much nicer - lighter, softer.

This was my entry into gnocchi!

Agree that it either needs to be fried or baked!

I came here to say this recipe too, its very nice! I added pancetta for extra deliciousness when I made it last night

Great minds @rosie561! Gnocchi is now going on my food plan for the week. Thanks op!

I don't boil the premade stuff (bought from the fridge) at all. Just tip into a pan with loads of butter and fry til crispy. We use as a quick potato substitute some nights.

I've made this recipe before and it's worked well. Not snotty at least! I've had ricotta gnocchi on my list to try out for a while - I've heard they are lighter so might appeal more. No personal experience though.
