Gnocchi. There is nothing like homemade gnocchi. They taste like potatoes with a bouncy texture, even without gluten. This gluten-free version uses a trick from the past when Italian cooks would toss potatoes into a fire or oven that was being cooled down so as not to waste the heat.

Eating gnocchi is like taking a bite out of a little cloud. The gnocchi weren't as light and fluffy as some I have had but they were kinda easy to make. I think next time I will just use leftover mashed potatoes - the milk and butter in them should lighten up the gnocchi. Gnocchi (plural) are Italian dumplings that are made with potatoes and flour, then boiled like pasta until they're fluffy pillows of goodness. A simple sauce of butter, fresh sage leaves, and Parmesan is a classic accompaniment to gnocchi, which couldn't be easier to make.
