Gnocchi Former

Gnocchi Former

Imagine you are sitting in Venice, at the foot of the Rialto Bridge in a small restaurant, watching the hustle and bustle on the bridge and on the Grand Canal. It is a warm summer evening and you are enjoying a glass of red wine. What goes best with it? Pasta, of course. But since you're sitting at home just imagining it, we have just the thing for you. With the Gnocchi Shaper you can easily make your own pasta at home. Take yourself to Italy and bring Italy home.

Preparation of the gnocchi

For gnocchi you need firm boiling potatoes. Mash them after cooking while they are still hot and knead them with the remaining ingredients such as flour, cornstarch, egg and salt. After the mixture has been kneaded well, make rolls of the dough with a diameter of 15 to 20 mm. Cut them into even pieces. Then take the gnocchi shaper, place it on the work surface at a slight angle and put some flour on the shaper. Then take a piece of dough, put it on the former and roll it down once with your thumb. Now your gnocchi have grooves and are already formed. The grooves do not go all the way around the gnocchi. A small indentation is created by the thumb. It has to be like that, because that's where the sauce holds best.

Features

The gnocchi shaper is made of beech wood. The quality wood comes from trees from European forests. The shaper is 20 cm long, 7 cm wide and 1.5 cm high.

Cleaning

The gnocchi former is cleaned after use with a cloth soaked in lemon juice. The former must not be immersed in water, washed off and also not put in the dishwasher!
