How to make the perfect gnocchi

See on Scoop.it - La Cucina Italiana - De Italiaanse Keuken - The Italian Kitchen

With gnocchi, you have to be able to feel the consistency of the dough rather than rely on exact quantities. Different varieties of potato – and even different potatoes in the same box – will absorb different amounts of water and change the amount of flour you need – so it’s impossible to be precise. Naturally, most Italians would have learnt this visceral skill through years of languorous Sunday mornings with Nonna.
