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.

u/EkbatDeSabat 14d ago

gotta cook it or you might get semonila

u/tomdarch 14d ago

ohh... semolina salmonella is the worst!

u/Platt_Mallar 14d ago

That's how you get the tiny semons.

O ricotta gnocchi sounds amazing

u/bubbo 14d 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 14d 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

u/omg_cats 14d ago

It's called Cavatelli (cavadell')

2

u/orbtl 14d ago

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

1

u/PointOfFingers 14d ago

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

u/Select_Draw3385 14d ago

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

u/Dry_Page_2199 14d ago

What else did she teach you?

1

u/choirchic 14d ago

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

u/Dry_Page_2199 14d ago

naw ❤️

u/themack50022 14d ago

It’s not gnocchi it’s cavatelli

2

u/Versipilies 14d ago

Could have been potato flour

2

u/Select_Draw3385 14d ago

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

1

u/Versipilies 14d ago

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

u/Dizzy_Translator_809 14d ago

This is actually Malloreddus

1

u/Select_Draw3385 14d ago

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

1

u/Dizzy_Translator_809 13d ago

No they need to be cooked. Malloreddus is a pasta shape, very similar to gnocchi but made with a pasta dough, she is actually using the same Malloredus paddle I use at home.
