Description

These Parisian gnocchi are a delightful twist on traditional Italian dumplings, offering a lighter, more delicate alternative to potato-based varieties. Made with a simple choux-style dough of flour, eggs, and milk, these gnocchi boast an airy, pillowy texture that is both satisfying and elegant. They are incredibly versatile, perfect for serving with a rich Bolognese, a light tomato sauce, or simply tossed with brown butter and sage. Ideal for a sophisticated weeknight dinner or a special occasion, this recipe yields a generous amount of tender dumplings that cook up in minutes. The subtle flavor profile allows the sauce to shine, making them a favorite among home cooks looking for a refined yet approachable pasta dish.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Combine milk, margarine, and salt in a large saucepan.
  2. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently.
  3. Remove from heat and gradually add flour, stirring vigorously with a wooden spoon until mixture leaves sides of pan and forms a ball.
  4. Let dough cool for 3 minutes.
  5. Add whole eggs and egg whites one at a time, beating well after each addition until incorporated.
  6. Spoon dough into a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch round tip.
  7. Bring 14 cups of water to a rolling boil in a large Dutch oven.
  8. Pipe half of the dough directly into the boiling water, cutting the dough with a sharp knife every 2 inches to form 20 gnocchi.
  9. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until gnocchi float to the surface.
  10. Remove gnocchi with a slotted spoon and place in a colander to drain; repeat with remaining dough.
