Where to find ingredients
Find these essentials at local supermarkets like Shoprite or Pick n Pay. Choose the baking aisle for flour and the dry goods section for bouillon cubes. If needed, a high-quality vegetable stock cube can be used as a substitute for chicken bouillon.
Preparation method
- Dissolve the chicken bouillon cubes in the milk in a large pot.
- Add the mayonnaise, chopped parsley, and salt to the liquid.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat until the mayonnaise has completely melted.
- Remove the pot from the heat and add all the flour at once.
- Stir vigorously and quickly so the dough becomes smooth and lump-free.
- Return the dough to low heat and cook, stirring constantly, 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.
- Shape the dough into long, thin logs using your hands.
- Cut the logs into bite-sized gnocchi pieces.
- Cook the pieces in a large pot of boiling salted water.
- Remove the gnocchi as soon as they float to the surface.
- Drain well and serve immediately with your favorite sauce.
Observations
This is an efficient and reliable recipe for anyone looking to make fresh pasta without the fuss. The trick to achieving a light and uniform texture is to incorporate the flour quickly while the liquid base is hot.
