nimthirielRecipe #44 is spinach gnocchi. This was a very tough one for me, mostly because I've been utterly scatter-brained. First I panicked that the dough wasn't a rollable consistency (you need to roll them into a log) so I added too much flour. I then added another egg to make up for that which helped. Unfortunately, I'd used up all my plain flour so I had to dust my surface with self-raising.
On that note, if it's very sticky, don't panic! It's supposed to be. When you're rolling it on a floured surface it turns out fine.
While we were cooking them, we put my slotted spoon too close to the stove and melted it, which set off the smoke alarm.
BUT! They turned out good. I served them with a sauce, though. Turned out to be a good thing otherwise they'd be a bit too dry. I made one up with chopped onion, a can of chopped tomatoes, some garlic and a dollop of pure cream.
All in all I'm quite happy with how it turned out! Next time I won't panic and it'll hopefully be even better.
