Serves/Makes:4 servings

Ingredients

• 2 lbs (.9 kg). large baking potatoes
• 1 cup (225 ml) whole wheat pastry flour
• 1/2 tsp (2 ml) salt
• 2 cups (475 ml) pasta sauce, your choice

Preparation

• Steam the potatoes in their skins until tender.
• When they are cool enough to handle, peel and mash.
• Immediately add the flour and salt.
• Knead on a lightly floured board until smooth. (sprinkle a little more flour if the dough sticks to your hands.)
• Form into ropes the thickness of your thumbs.
• Cut into 3/4 inch pieces and press down lightly with fork.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
• Add the gnocchi and boil until they rise to the top, about 5 minutes.
• As all pasta, gnocchi should not be crowded in the pot so cook them in several batches.
• Coat them with some of the sauce to keep them from sticking.

Comments

I have never tried this but my recipe says that you can substitute the same amount of sweet potatoes for a different kind of gnocchi.
