Where to find ingredients

- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the dough pulls away completely from the bottom of the pot.
- Remove the dough from the heat and allow it to cool.
- Transfer the dough to a smooth surface and knead, adding a little extra flour if necessary.
- Shape the dough into small rolls and cut them into bite-sized pieces.

- Remove the gnocchi from the water just a few seconds after they start boiling.
- Finish by topping with your preferred sauce and serve immediately.
