This is all about me, not the recipe. I guess there is just to much German in me to try to make gnocchi. I'm going to have to be shown how to make these next time by someone. My dough came out sticky and I could not get them to roll down the back of the fork. So I turned them into little German dumplings by dropping them by the teaspoonful in the boiling water. The sauce was find, but for us I'll cut the butter by half next time. elsokolj thank you for posting and sorry I just could not figure out how to make them. Made for *PAC Fall 2007* game
