How Do You Say It?

We had an experimental food day today with the Italian pasta knowkee nokey gnocchi... there we go... Rahel decided last week that she wanted to try it out, and it seemed easy enough, so Caleigh and I joined in. Rahel found an easy recipe here, and away we went.

Rahel decided that baking the potatoes would take too long (we were all hungry!) so we decided to boil them instead. As soon as they were done we smashed them up with a fork.

Then we added the flour, olive oil, and salt, and added some garlic powder just for fun. After some back-breaking work kneading the dough, we rolled it out and cut it into little pieces.  

Then we rolled it over the end of a fork to give it some shape. 

Boiling the pastas came next. When they came out of the pot they looked a wee bit soggy. Oh, well. First try, right?

The final product tasted wonderful, I think. I'm not really sure what gnocchi is supposed to taste like. We had lots of fun making them, though!
