Gnocci

This is a dish Aaron learned to make this on his mission in Argentina. (In Italy it's spelled gnocchi - but not in Argentina)
This is his recipe:
potatoes
eggs
flour

Ha! I could never make them! I'll have to ask him when he has time to see if there are more specific directions. i know you mash boiled potatoes and mix 2 eggs and flour, he added some salt this time.
You roll a portion of the dough into a long rope

and then cut them into 1/2 inch segments.

We have a gnocci maker (ours doesn't have a handle, just a hole at the top),
but you can use a fork.
Put the pasta on the fork and quickly roll it down the fork (or gnocci maker) with your thumb. (even though the picture show you can use any finger)

Eventually you boil the fresh pasta in salted water until they float to the top.

I found the pictures here.

Aaron made a white sauce and added garlic salt, sage and salt and pepper. Again no amounts, because this is Aaron's recipe!
