    Gnocchi All Italiana

    2 1/2 c. mashed potatoes (or put thru a ricer)
    2 eggs, slightly beaten
    1/2 tsp salt
    2 1/2 c. flour

    1 recipe tomato sauce
    1 c. parmesan cheese

    Place potatoes, eggs, and salt in a mixing bowl and mix thoroughly. Add 1 1/2 c. flour. Place dough on floured
    board and add rest of flour. Knead dough for 3 to 4 minutes until all flour is mixed in. If dough is too sticky,
    sprinkle with more flour.

    Cut dough into 6 pieces. Roll dough into long sausage like strips and cut into pieces 2/3 to 1 inch long. Sprinkle
    dumplings lightly with flour. You can roll each dumpling across a floured dinner fork to make crinkle marks if
    desired. Have ready a large pan with 4 qts of boiling water to which 1 T. salt has been added. Place gnocchi in
    water and remove with a strainer when they come to the top. Place in a hot serving bowl. Add sauce to gnocchi
    and 2/3 of cheese, mixing well. Sprinkle rest of cheese on top. Serves 4 to 6.

    Variation sauce:

    Heat 1 stick of BUTTER to browning stage and add 1/2 cup of cream. Pour over gnocchi and add parmesan
    cheese.

    We much prefer the butter and cream sauce!!!!!!!!!
