Re: gnocchi
I usually get the kind they have at Trader Joe's and it's easy to make..boil...you can have it with sauce, basil and cheese (baked) or I do a variation and add spinach and chicken and make a bake with cheese on top...it's delicious

Re: gnocchi
I bought mine in the fresh pasta aisle.
Boil 2 mins in salted water.
I have never made them w/ sauce/pesto, just in this soup:
Olive Garden Chicken and Gnocchi Soup – ala Nora
3 small cans Cream of Chicken Soup
3 small cans of water
1 ½ - 2 pound diced cooked chicken
1 bag baby spinach
3 gloves garlic, grated
½ small onion, grated
Cook chicken in seasoned water. I like garlic powder, onion powder and a few shots of Tabasco.
Drain chicken. Add canned soup and 3 cans of water. Stir. Add chicken back.
Grate garlic and onion into pot.
When heated, add spinach.
Start cooking Gnocchi to directions. My package said cook 2 minutes in boiling salted water. Mine were frozen, cooked about 3 minutes.
Add gnocchi to soup and serve.
Its a short cut copy-cut version.

it's insane. and so easy!

This sounds delish!!! Must try it
I usually buy them from a pasta specialty store (I go to Cassinelli's in Astoria - they make great fresh pasta) & toss with a pesto sauce.
