Mike and I have still not attempted the gnocchi but we will keep that in mind when we do.

We made a couple of substitutions: used whole wheat flour, shitake mushrooms, pinot grigio vinegar. The recipe warns against handling the dough too much. Our test gnocci was great. The others weren’t as smooth as they could have been (ie. we could have mixed the dough more). All in it was good but TOO salty!! Way too salty. Would have used half as much in the dough. The peas and mushrooms were delicious and no you don’t end up eating 1.5 lbs of butter! Amazing how much gnocci comes from two potatoes!
