Guest guest Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 I found a recipe, Gnocchi & Tomato Bake, that I would like to make and wonder where I can get some gnocchi. I live in a rural area, so would I be able to find it in the store , or would a healthfood store be a better place to find it. And where would it be located? Thanks!!

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Do you have a Trader Joe's nearby? they have gnocchi. Regular supermarkets might also have it where they sell noodles and pasta. Your other choice would be to make it, they are not so hard to make and use simple ingredients (just potato and flour I think). , " itshotinjt04 " <itshotinjt04 wrote: > > I found a recipe, Gnocchi & Tomato Bake, that I would like to make and > wonder where I can get some gnocchi.

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 3 pounds russet potatoes 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 egg, extra large 1 pinch salt 1/2 cup canola oil Boil the whole potatoes until they are soft (about 45 minutes). While still warm, peel and pass through vegetable mill onto clean pasta board. Set 6 quarts of water to boil in a large spaghetti pot. Set up ice bath with 6 cups ice and 6 cups water near boiling water. Make well in center of potatoes and sprinkle all over with flour, using all the flour. Place egg and salt in center of well and using a fork, stir into flour and potatoes, just like making normal pasta. Once egg is mixed in, bring dough together, kneading gently until a ball is formed. Knead gently another 4 minutes until ball is dry to touch. Roll baseball-sized ball of dough into 3/4-inch diameter dowels and cut dowels into 1-inch long pieces. Flick pieces off of fork or concave side of cheese grater until dowel is finished. Drop these pieces into boiling water and cook until they float (about 1 minute). Meanwhile, continue with remaining dough, forming dowels, cutting into 1-inch pieces and flicking off of fork. As gnocchi float to top of boiling water, remove them to ice bath. Continue until all have been cooled off. Let sit several minutes in bath and drain from ice and water. Toss with 1/2 cup canola oil and store covered in refrigerator up to 48 hours until ready to serve. - itshotinjt04 Wednesday, September 10, 2008 7:39 PM gnocchi ??

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Gnocchi is usually found in the frozen section of the supermarket with the ravioli and tortollini. You can buy it unfrozen sometimes but I prefer the frozen. Please share your recipe after you have tried it, gnocchi is my favorite pasta. My grandmother used to home make it for special occassions. pam itshotinjt04 <itshotinjt04 Wednesday, September 10, 2008 7:39:08 PM gnocchi ??

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 They do sell it in the general grocery store, top shelf usually, just above the dried pastas. I've even seen the sweet potato one, but didn't like them as much. Too smooshy for us.
