Ingredients
3 cups milk
2 chicken stock cubes
6 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Salt to taste
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 chicken stock cubes
6 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Salt to taste
3 cups all-purpose flour
Where to find ingredients
You can find all-purpose flour, milk, and fresh parsley at local open-air markets or neighborhood grocery stores. Chicken stock cubes are widely available in the seasoning aisle of any supermarket. As a substitute for fresh parsley, you may use dried parsley flakes, though fresh is preferred for a brighter flavor.
Preparation method
- Dissolve the chicken stock cubes into the milk in a saucepan.
- Add the mayonnaise, chopped parsley, and salt to the mixture.
- Place the pot over medium heat until it begins to boil and the mayonnaise has completely melted.
- Remove the pot from the heat and add all the flour at once.
- Stir vigorously and quickly to ensure the dough becomes uniform and lump-free.
- Return the dough to low heat and stir continuously for one or two minutes.
- Turn off the heat and allow the dough to cool until it is warm to the touch.
- Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface.
- Roll the dough into long, thin ropes using your hands.
- Cut the ropes into traditional 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 of the water.
- Drain well and serve hot with your favorite sauce.
Observations
A simple and effective method for those looking to whip up fresh pasta without the usual fuss. The key is to incorporate the flour quickly to ensure the dough reaches a perfectly smooth and light consistency.
