ninevirtuesStep 1: R Visits CA, eats at charming courtyard italian restaurant, is highly impressed by the gnocchi (potato dumplings) with fresh mozarella inside them. Note to self: When he makes appreciative noises and kicks his feet because it's Just That Good....GAME ON.
Step 2: Discover fresh gnocchi recipe in Moosewood cookbook I insisted we buy so we'd be able to cook something vegetarian besides bean burritos.
Step 3: Buy food processor.
Step 4: Bake potatoes, stay up late food processing dough. Refrigerate dough.
Step 5: (Yesterday) Roll out dough. Cut into strips. Roll strips into 1" snakes, just like we did with play-doh as preschoolers. Cut up rolls into 1" chunks; roll into balls around pieces of fresh mozarella; toss small batches into boiling water; retrieve when they float.
All to get to step 6: Eat. (And yes, they were a lot of work, but really good!)
Step 7: Look at kitchen, which looks like the tasmanian devil has been cooking there. Sigh and clean up.
