These tasted good, but what a lot of work and a big mess! This was my first time making them, and I guess they just aren't worth the time for me. I would rather have store bought tortellini. I used garlic mashed potatoes, and I still thought they were pretty bland. I ended up only cooking about 3/4 of the batch and the whole thing still took about an hour.

Using Garlic salt instead of normal salt added some flavor.

after reading the stellar reviews i couldn't resist making this gnocchi recipe. overall i thought the taste was pretty good but my boyfriend loved them. cut the size of your gnocchi a little smaller because they puff up during the cooking process. this dish served well with the "tomato cream sauce for pasta" recipe also on this website. thanks sandy!

So easy!!!! And just as good as the ones I just paid $14/plate for at a fancy italian restaurant. I will be making again and again. Even had a native born Italian try them and she loved them too.

This is the easiest Gnocchi I've never made, and it tastes so good! I'll make a huge batch again and never time, I'll add some chopped Italian parsley for fun.

I love this recipe. I followed the recipe exactly, fine diced some onions, boiled and squashed some tomatoes to add, and tossed the gnocchi around in some brown butter. Delicious

This is awesome! I used to be married to an Italian and always made my own pastas. I have now shared this recipe with several friends. Making extra tonight and hoping I can freeze any leftovers......doubt there will be any though. LOL!

Wow! Gnocchi DOES NOT get any easier then this recipe! I don't like instant spuds like everyone else, but you can't taste them in this recipe. I agree they needed a little kick so I added some finely minced fresh basil, and garlic salt to the dough. I also used the fork "dent and pull" method to set the ridge pattern in them. People say you should make those little indentations with a fork so that the sauce has something to cling to. It did work and there were little puddles of sauce hidden in all the wrinkles. YUM-O! I'm thrilled the other rater mentioned they freeze well too! Another perk!

SO GOOD! My husband and daughter loved this- he said it was better than what we have previously bought in the stores! Made some for my in-laws as a quick lunch when they were over and they loved it too! (I tripled the recipe and used the half that I had frozen- it was as good as the fresh!) Used only 3 cups of flour; added one at a time and stirred in (remember, I tripled the recipe) Also added Italian seasoning and garlic salt. Make sure you flour everything (countertop, hands, knife and fork for teh dents) will definitely make again.

I had never tried Gnocchi - though I had heard of it before. Yesterday, my husband and I were having lunch at a fancy Italian restaurant and they had Gnocchi on the menu - for $17.50. I wanted to try it, but I didn't want to spend that much money, so I came home and searched for a Gnocchi recipe. I happened to have all the ingredients for this one on hand. Though I am not a fan of instant potatoes - this didn't have that "instant" taste. It was quick and easy to make - my 9-year old son rolled out the dough and cut it into bite-size pieces, while I did the cooking. We loved it! I had mine with some parmesan cheese - he ate his out of a bowl like he was eating chips. I can't wait to try it out on my husband with marinara sauce. Thank you!

I'm not sure that this recipe is really any quicker than making regular gnocchi--which is made only with boiled red potatoes and flour--no eggs--but it was actually pretty good--considering that I, like another poster--absolutely hate instant mashed potatoes. I definitely prefer how these turned out over most store bought pre-made gnocchi which I generally find to be too granular tasting and full of semolina and other weird stuff. A pretty good variation on an old favorite.

I’ve made gnocchi before using peeled, boiled and mashed potatoes and this recipe is so much easier . The finished result is a fluffy pillow of potato-y goodness. I added ½ c garlic sautéed baby spinach (sliced supper thin, like confetti), 1/2 t. herbs de province and ¼ c parmesan roman blended cheese, all added before the introduction of the water, so that the heat could ‘active’ the flavors. I served them with grilled chicken, creamy mushroom sauce and finely shredded farmer’s cheese. Delicious!!
