[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am so not trying to be holier than thou... But I don't think you could learn to make anything easier than gnocchi. Just take one of your your favourite starch (potato, butternut squash, sweet potato), roast or boil it till soft. Mash up. Add some salt, pepper, grated cheese. Add flour until dough forms. Knead until smooth. Roll into snakes. I "fork" mine for ridges before I cut because I can't be bothered to do them one at at a time. Then cut into little chunks. Boil some in salted water, freeze the rest. They're maybe not as pretty as the store bought ones, but ten times as tasty and one squash will make at least 2-3 meals worth of gnocchi. 
It really doesn't take long if you don't feel the need to make the ultra perfect looking.

Or, the Trader Joe ones are pretty good. Don't overlook is the key. [/quote]

Hey, PP!
Just wanted to say that I am a nanny, and you inspired me to try making homemade gnocchi according to your directionswith my charges.  it is not something I ever ever would have tried, but it was a huge hit.  The kids had a blast making "snakes" and they love love loved eating it.  The little girl told me three times that I need to teach their mom "my" recipe, and the little boy told me that this dinner was "better than candy."   Thanks for posting![/quote]
