Tips

• Be careful not to overmix the gnocchi dough, as it can become tough.
• If the gnocchi dough is too sticky, add a little more flour until it reaches the right consistency.
• You can freeze the uncooked gnocchi for later use. Just place them on a baking sheet and freeze until firm, then transfer to a freezer bag.
