Step 1

After preparing gnocchi dough, divide it into three equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 10" long log. Now cut each log, widthwise, into 12 equal pieces.

Step 2

Dip a finger in flour and make a deep dimple into one side of each piece of gnocchi. Now, if desired, give gnocchi its traditional ridged look. Do so by rolling the non-dimpled side of each piece of gnocchi over the tines of a floured fork, back of grater or with a gnocchi board. Set prepared gnocchi, not touching, on a large baking sheet.

Step 3

To cook, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook gnocchi, in 2 batches, until they float to the surface, about 2 minutes. Scoop out the gnocchi with a slotted spoon and add to the other ingredients in the recipe.
