When you prepare some oven-baked potatoes, for example, jacket potatoes, make sure, that you put a few extra into the oven and try this Italian Gnocchi recipe from Gennaro Contaldo.
If you have no gnocchi board to make this unique pattern, no worries, just use a simple fork. Roll the small dough pieces over the fork and tadaaa: you have lovely patterned gnocchi with a large surface to cover with yummy sauces.
If you cooked the dumplings, you will need a good recipe.
