Gnocchi

Each 16 ounce package contains 1179 calories, 36 grams protein, and 10 grams fiber

• 1000 grams peeled potatoes
• 500 grams flour
• 4 eggs (replace with 1/4 cup olive oil for vegan gnocchi)
• 2 tsp salt
• 200 grams additional flour for kneading

Boil peeled potatoes until tender. Strain, transfer to a large bowl, and mash with a fork. Allow to cool then mix in flour and eggs. 

On a floured surface, knead until ball forms. Roll dough into 1/2" to 3/4" thick ropes then cut ropes into pieces 1/2" wide. Gently toss/roll the pieces around in the flour before moving them onto a 9x13" pan lined in plastic wrap. 

Continue rolling, cutting, and flouring the pieces until a single layer of gnocchi covers the bottom of the pan. Place a sheet of plastic wrap on top and continue placing the gnocchi in the pan to create a second layer. Repeat until all the dough has been made into gnocchi and placed in the pan with plastic wrap between each layer. Top the pan with a final piece of plastic wrap and transfer it to the freezer for 24 hours. 

The next day, divide the frozen gnocchi into 4 zip lock bags, each containing approximately 16 ounces of gnocchi. Squeeze out as much air as possible then return the bags to the freezer until ready for use.

Cook frozen gnocchi in a large stock pot of boiling water for 13-15 minutes.  Drain and rinse gnocchi then stir it into a pan of sauce of your choice such as creamy tomato and spinach sauce.
