Gnocchi is about as easy as it gets but it is also so easy to do it wrong. Overwork the dough and they lose their softness, so gnocchi needs a light hand. I have made them this way, and that way and even another way, I like gnocchi.
These little mounds of pillowy deliciousness are made with pea puree and potato. Make the gnocchi in the conventional way and serve with browned black truffle butter for out of this world, out of this worldness.
I also jacked some up with white beech mushrooms and roma grape tomatoes.

These look delicious - I've never tried gnocchi - I figure they might be tough to make but if you say they aren't....well maybe it's worth a go

Can you make this with some other type of puree? Like, broccoli or something?
I don't think I can express to you my complete and utter disdain for peas!!!!!!
Tavo's favorite meal in the world, right there on your plate!
Excellent use of truffle butter.
you need to teach me how to do this one..
wow, they look good... I think I need to take up a lesson of how to do this from you...
Looks amazing...and sounds pretty good too. I have never had Gnocchi, but I am now interested in it...thanks!
pea puree huh? OK, I'm in. Sounds good to me. This is one of those dishes that I happily eat cold the next day, happily.
I just learned how to make ricotta gnocchi and LOVED IT! It was easier than I thought.
I can't wait it try it home.
and there are those amazing truffles again.......
I'd look that mushroom up, but I gave you the only good reference book I had!
Pea and potato gnocchi with browned truffle butter?! I think I've died and gone to heaven. They look spectacular.
I'm making a soup with gnocchi tonight, but I'm not making the gnocchi. I continue to live in fear of it.
The pea/potato mix is golden. And then you went and said black truffle butter...Don't hurt us!

tavolini: if this is his favorite then this version would be a double whammy
snugs: easy as pie - no problem
ramya: it is easy I can show you

dawn: and you would not have been disappointed either
stacey: I saw your class post - you know its easy
buff: what does it look like again - I must have like 9 mushroom books - I know it was a bigger format - let me know I can send it back -
the diva: heaven in a pillow of flavor
lisa: you have so many skills a little gnocchi should not get in your way
duo: 'browned black truffle butter' to be exact!
