I got this idea from ‘My Kitchen Rules’ one night and the smiley boys made mixed mushroom gnocchi – and I haven’t been able to get it out of my head ever since. Homemade gnocchi is surprisingly easy if you have a bit of time on your hands – and it tastes so delicious – serve with a burnt butter sauce or a simple Bolognaise. Delish!

Response to “Easy Potato Gnocchi”
This is the same as I make all the time but have found that if I plunge the pasta into ice cold water it holds its shape a lot better then add it to sauce and it doesnt brake up
