Preparation method
- Dissolve the chicken stock cubes in the milk in a large saucepan.
- 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 add all the flour at once.
- Stir vigorously and quickly so the dough becomes homogeneous without forming lumps.
- Return the dough to low heat and stir for one or two minutes to cook it through.
- Turn off the heat and let the dough cool down until lukewarm.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface.
- Roll the dough into long ropes using your hands.
- Cut the ropes into small, traditional gnocchi-sized pillows.
- 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 immediately with your preferred sauce.
