For a few years the hubby has been asking for Gnocchi yea sure sometime I will make them. Finely I had to let it be known I was clueless as to what a Gnocchi even was let alone make. I don't feel so bad my parents also didn't know what a Gnocchi was. At my local Sam's Club a few weeks ago I saw a box of
Gnocchi's so I picked it up. What is a Gnocchi? A Gnocchi is a little potato dumpling wrapped in a noodle. I believe they are on the menu at Olive Garden but I have not tried them before. This is a first I must say I was very impressed. Teresa at
ablogaboutfood2.blogspot.com had a
vegetarian recipe on her blog a few weeks ago with spinach and pine nuts that's next to try. The Gnocchi come in a
vacuumed packed package with three in a box, the shelve life is a year. Next time I am going to try making them by scratch.

This looks really good! I made gnocchi from scratch once, they were really good, but it's a time consuming process!

I tried to make gnocchi for the first time last month: so much fun! And now I'm thinking about making them with sweet potatoes.
Yours look good!
Let me know how the home-made ice cream turns out: it really was very easy.
