    Fun fact: the first time I made gnocchi, they fell apart in the water and I didn’t try to make them again until last week, 10 years later.

    • @Lena-fc9ce
      @Lena-fc9ce 4 года назад +39

      you can, but tossing actually does something that stirring cant: incorporating air. it makes the sauce a bit thicker, a bit like whipping cream. and gnocchi can be pretty delicate so you have to be careful when stirring them. tossing is doable with a bit of practice though, use a pan with high sides and look at the forwards-back motion babish does. its good for showing off or flipping crepes.

Just hearing the Basics theme song and remembering when I made this recipe reminded me of why I'm even doing this.

Crimp closed, pushing out as much air as possible. Cover in a dish of bread crumbs and gently push so the crumbs stick. Pan or deep fry until golden.

    So I tried this out for dinner tonight and it came out pretty well for a guy who's never made pasta dough before!
    I ended up rolling them into balls and then making the little finger dent in them.
    Also I didn't have any of the sauce ingredients you mentioned so I hodge-podged something out of chopped baby bella mushrooms, chopped white onions, a quarter cup of whole milk, 3 cloves of crushed garlic, some rosemary, 3 tablespoons of butter (cuz I'm extra), some oregano, 3/4 of a cup of pasta water, and of course, KS and FGBP to taste. And it came out pretty decent along with finely sliced yellow squash and zucchini, and a couple chicken mozzarella sausages. I managed to surprise my parents (I'm a total amateur at cooking) and I'm really happy with the recipes of yours I've followed! I made your recipe for latkes last week and they came out pretty well! Thank you for making these videos! It has inspired a love of cooking in a guy who's diet in college has consisted of microwave burritos, leftovers, and hot dogs.

      Also if you want suggestions for sauces, mushrooms and cream is a great one and basically what you did (without the extras lol), simple tomato sauce with loads of pepper and parsley, or even just butter and parmigiano!

    My dad bought a bag of gnocchi and told me to figure out what to do with them. After they sat in the fridge for a couple of weeks because I didn't feel like figuring out an Italian recipe I decided that since they're made from potato I'd prep them like baked potato. I boiled them for a few minutes and drained them. I baked them in an oiled pan for a bit, pulled them out, topped them with butter, baked them again. Topped the finished product with butter, sour cream, and cheddar cheese.
