- Form long rolls (about 1/2 inch diameter) to for across cutting board..
- Cut into bite-sized pieces..
- Drop them into more flour to coat completely, then place them in strainer and shake to remove excess flour..
- Take chunks and roll across cheese grater or fork-tines to make "fancy".
- Place all prepared gnocchi in a dry, sterile place. Store them in the fridge if needed to store in preparation for next step..
- Your raw gnocchi are ready! Drop them into salted, boiling water and LEAVE THEM ALONE until they float to the top on their own! This is the delicious little morsels telling you they're done!.

Gnocchi is different to pasta, but can be served in a similar way either as a starter or side dish. Instead of being made with just flour and eggs, gnocchi is made with potato as well. After this step, start the water on high heat.
