Gnocco

Shape the gnocchi mixture into small 1½-inch-long loaves or gnocchi. Dip each gnocco into the flour, shaking off excess.

Lightly press each gnocco against the tines of a fork and then place them on a clean tea towel.

If you like, roll each gnocco across the back of the tines of a fork to make grooves.

Cook one gnocco as a tester, to make sure they hold together. Use a small ice-cream scoop or a soup spoon to form the gnocchi into rough balls, and drop into the simmering water, in batches if necessary to keep from crowding.
