Homemade Gnocchi with Tomato Basil Cream Sauce
I really love homemade gnocchi and I think people don’t realize how simple they really are to make. Honestly, what I do is make extra baked potatoes when I am making them for dinner another night. Then I rice them up and boom, gnocchi comes together quickly and easily. Gnocchi is a super versatile dumpling and can be made with so many different sauces. In this recipe I make it with a delicious tomato basil cream sauce, but you can also add in some vodka for vodka sauce if you’d like. You can also toss them with pesto sauces, marinara and pesto on top. That is one of my other favorite ways. Gnocchi…

We all know how we have gotten so excited to make something. We love it and want all of our friends to try it.

Homemade Pappardelle Pasta
This dough can be a little tricky to get the hang of. Only for the simple fact that the only liquid in this dough is egg. So, sometimes people get worried that the dough is too dry. I promise you, if you work it until the dough is smooth, it will be the best dough. Once this dough is cooked up, it is luscious and silky. Letting this dough rest is key to helping in the hydration. It is also super helpful to make sure that you are using large eggs, this way you will have the same measurements each time. Why pappardelle pasta?
