gnocchi

this is an easy thing to make and it tastes pretty good..
first you pronounce it:
n o key
this is from scratch, you can buy it..but its easy to make..
and think of the moment when you say,
its from scatch!!
people love to hear that...
anyway, here it is..
1 1/2 lbs peeled potatoes
2eggs
1egg yolk
1tbsp butter
1 1/4 cups flour,sifted
you can try the gluten free flours..that works to
ice water for refreshing
now the best way to get less moistour in your potatoe
is to microwave them, until tender
put the potatoes thru a ricer or a food mill
season with salt and pepperand nutmeg
add the egg yolk and the eggs, mix together
add 3/4 of the flour, mix
use your judgement on how much flour to use
if you use to much they will be heavy and hard
to little and the mixtureis sticky,then it falls apart
it will take a lot of practice
when its right, pipe out into dime size cylinder(long tube like shape)
cut into 1" pieces
turn a fork upside down on a surface, take the 1' pieces
and half roll them over the upside down prongs of the fork
they will look like a half moon shape..
then toss in boiling water.
when the gnocchi is floating to the top.
then put into cold water
then drain from the cold water
and saute with butter and seasoning
they look so nice, and are very tastey..

NOW the sauce for the gnocchi:

4 strips of bcon chopped small
3 leeks
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 1/2 cups 35% whipping cream
2 tbsp crumbled blue cheese or parmesn cheese

cook bacon til crispy, drain
add wine,add cream simmer stir often until thick

serve with gnocchi, sprinkle cheese on top and toss..

enjoy..
until next time..
