Ingredients
3 cups milk
2 chicken bouillon cubes
6 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Salt to taste
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 chicken bouillon cubes
6 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Salt to taste

Where to find ingredients
You can find all-purpose flour, milk, and fresh herbs in the baking, dairy, and produce aisles of any local Canadian grocery store. Chicken bouillon cubes and mayonnaise are readily available in the soup/pantry section. As a substitute for fresh herbs, dried parsley can be used if fresh is not available.
Preparation method
- Dissolve the chicken bouillon cubes in the milk in a large saucepan.
- Stir in the mayonnaise, chopped parsley, and salt.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat until the bouillon is fully dissolved and the mayonnaise has melted into the liquid.
- Remove the pan from the heat and add the flour all at once.
- Stir rapidly and vigorously to create a smooth, lump-free dough.
- Return the dough to low heat and stir for one to two minutes to cook it through.
- Turn off the heat and allow the dough to cool slightly until it is warm to the touch.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface.
- Roll the dough into long, thin ropes using your hands.
- Slice the ropes into small, traditional gnocchi-sized pieces.
- Cook the pieces in a large pot of boiling salted water.
- Remove the gnocchi with a slotted spoon as soon as they float to the surface.
- Drain well and serve immediately with your favorite pasta sauce.
Observations
A simple and reliable method for those looking to whip up fresh pasta without the usual fuss. The secret to success lies in incorporating the flour quickly to ensure the dough remains consistent and light.
