Where to find ingredients
You can find these staples at local markets like Makola or Agbogbloshie, and in supermarket aisles specializing in dry goods and dairy. If chicken bouillon cubes are unavailable, a high-quality chicken seasoning powder is a suitable substitute.
Preparation method
- Dissolve the chicken bouillon cubes into the milk in a large pot.
- Add the mayonnaise, chopped parsley, and salt to the mixture.
- Place the pot over medium heat until it comes to a boil and the mayonnaise has fully melted.
- Remove the pot from the heat and stir in all the flour at once.
- Mix vigorously so the dough becomes smooth and free of lumps.
- Return the dough to low heat and stir for one to two minutes.
- Turn off the heat and let the dough cool until it is just warm to the touch.
- Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface.
- Roll the dough out into long, thin logs with your hands.
- Cut the logs into bite-sized traditional gnocchi pieces.
- Boil the pieces in a large pot of salted water.
- Remove the gnocchi as soon as they float to the surface of the water.
- Drain well and serve with your preferred sauce.
Observations
A simple and effective method for those looking to whip up fresh pasta without any complications. The secret lies in incorporating the flour quickly to ensure the dough remains smooth, light, and perfectly textured.
