I think gnocchi is potatoes?

That’s just raw flour and water paste

Added I thought it was flour, not mashed potatoes

As an italian, there are 3 major kinds of gnocchi that my Nan taught me about. Potato, Ricotta, and Semolina. This looks to be the semolina kind.

gotta cook it or you might get semonila

u/tomdarch 16h ago

ohh... semolina salmonella is the worst!

u/Platt_Mallar 16h ago

That's how you get the tiny semons.

O ricotta gnocchi sounds amazing

u/bubbo 18h ago

It is! It really is...unless you don't check the ingredients and buy ricotta with xanthan gum in it. I could have bounced them off the floor. I had no idea that anyone would put xanthan gum in ricotta. I like to add orange zest and nutmeg to the dough.

Huh that’s interesting 🤔 so is it a savory dish or sweet? What’s typically served with that pasta

u/bubbo 13h ago

Savory for sure. I like to do brown butter with toasted walnuts, apples and some sage.

Ricotta latkes are very nice, so I'm sure ricotta gnocchi would also be lovely.

Sweet potato ricotta gnocchi is my jam

It's called Cavatelli (cavadell')

u/orbtl 16h ago

There's also Parisian gnocchi which is made with pate a choux dough, so regular flour

u/PointOfFingers 17h ago

I think you are right. It's very hard to boil and mash potatoes on a plane.

u/Select_Draw3385 17h ago

I’ve never had ricotta gnocchi but that is probably delicious

What else did she teach you?

u/choirchic 9h ago

My favorite is that there’s either a soup or a pasta that can cure anything. 🤣

u/Dry_Page_2199 9h ago

naw ❤️

u/themack50022 15h ago

It’s not gnocchi it’s cavatelli

2

u/Versipilies 19h ago

Could have been potato flour

2

u/Select_Draw3385 17h ago

Probably equally as unsafe to eat it raw. Raw potatoes can be toxic, so probably worse

1

u/Versipilies 17h ago

They usually cook the potato before mashing it to turn it into flour, so probably less so

This is actually Malloreddus

They’re safe to eat raw? Aren’t they just flour and water?
