Last time I made store-bought gnocchi I really liked it but I vowed to make the real thing from scratch. Now that I've done it I can see the benefits of both. Home made gnocchi is very simple to make with only a few ingredients, but it's somewhat time-consuming and messy. I wouldn't go all out with home made on a week night, but it is well worth it and actually fun to do if you have a bit of time. The results are fantastic. The gnocchi are so tender and full of potato flavour.
Once you make them, they're also incredibly simple to cook and serve. I tossed them with some browned butter and sage and a little fresh Parmigiano Reggiano.
