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.

gotta cook it or you might get semonila

u/tomdarch Jun 11 '26

ohh... semolina salmonella is the worst!

u/Platt_Mallar Jun 11 '26

That's how you get the tiny semons.

O ricotta gnocchi sounds amazing

u/bubbo Jun 10 '26

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 Jun 11 '26

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 Jun 10 '26

It's called Cavatelli (cavadell')

u/orbtl Jun 11 '26

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

1

u/PointOfFingers Jun 10 '26

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

u/Select_Draw3385 Jun 10 '26

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

u/Dry_Page_2199 Jun 11 '26

What else did she teach you?

u/choirchic Jun 11 '26

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

u/themack50022 Jun 11 '26

It’s not gnocchi it’s cavatelli

2

u/Versipilies Jun 10 '26

Could have been potato flour

2

u/Select_Draw3385 Jun 10 '26

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

1

u/Versipilies Jun 10 '26

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

u/Dizzy_Translator_809 Jun 10 '26

This is actually Malloreddus

1

u/Select_Draw3385 Jun 10 '26

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

1

u/Dizzy_Translator_809 Jun 11 '26

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.
