Gnocchi! Fun to say. Fun to make. This is NOT your Naunie’s Gnocchi! (Naunnie was my Italian grandmother.) This “cheat” recipe uses potato flakes (horrors!) in place of the usual mashed potatoes. With the aid of a food processor and a few simple ingredients, you can knock out these tasty, satisfying little Italian dumplings in no time.
Mix the garlic powder, water, egg, and butter and pour into the food processor.
Mix the remaining ingredients in a large bowl.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the food processor and mix in low pulses until the dough forms into a ball.
Turn dough out onto a floured rolling surface. Roll into long strips and cut into 1” pieces.
Press fork tines across each piece. (Flour the fork if necessary.)
Cook in salted boiling water 6-8 minutes stirring several times gently.
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain.

You could serve these as a pasta side or a light meal. A little butter and Parmesan on top or bottled spag sauce would work. I think Italian sausages would be a good compliment if you use them as a side.
