Notes
Helpful tips
You can make the gnocchi well before you start the recipe. If you make it the same day, you can put a jelly roll pan filled with the gnocchi in the fridge or freezer until you need them.
If you make the gnocchi days prior, first add the gnocchi as you make it to a jelly roll pan and place in the freezer for at least a half hour. Next, add the frozen gnocchi to a gallon sized bag and place the bag in the freezer. The gnocchi won't stick together. Then you take them out right before you need them.
Next comes the gnocchi and you won't need a lot of water to cook the gnocchi - I say around 3 - 4 cups in your medium stockpot.
Once the water has come to a boil, carefully add the gnocchi to the water, stir and within 5 minutes, the gnocchi will float to the top of the water. Fish them out as they bob to the surface and place them in a bowl.
Use butter in this recipe and NOT margarine.
You can find fresh sage in the produce section. They come in little plastic containers. Want a little extra flavor, add some fresh herbs when you serve it like, fresh basil or parsley.
