This is a great recipe to follow if you are in a hurry to make your family an excellent meal. I like to serve this with white rice.

Ingredients

1 C. dry potato flakes
1 C. boiling water
1 egg, beaten
1 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. ground black pepper
1 1/2 C. all-purpose flour

Directions

Place potato flakes in a medium-size bowl. Pour in boiling water; stir until blended. Let cool. Stir in egg, salt, and pepper. Blend in enough flour to make fairly stiff dough. Turn dough out on a well-floured board. Knead lightly.

Divide dough in half. Shape each half into a long thin roll, the thickness of a breadstick. With a knife dipped in flour, cut into bite-size pieces. Place a few gnocchi in boiling water. As the gnocchi rise to the top of the pot, remove them with a slotted spoon. Repeat until all are cooked.

Makes 2 servings.
