Ingredients
- 3 russet potatoes, peeled and chopped into smaller pieces
- 2 eggs
- matzo meal "cake flour" (finely ground matzo meal) (a lot of it - 2-4 cups?)
- 10oz frozen spinach, mostly thawed
- salt, pepper
- a little oil for frying
Boil the potatoes in water until tender. Drain with a slotted spoon and place in a cuisinart. Add spinach, salt, and pepper. Pulse a few times. Add eggs and pulse again. Now, slowly add matzo meal flour until the mixture forms a dough, which it probably won't ever do. Boiling these gnocchi doesn't work (we tried it). Instead, heat up some oil in a pan or on a griddle. Form dough into little gnocchigli and fry lightly until browned. Serve with herb cream sauce.
Thoughts: these won't adhere in the middle because of something having to do with matzo meal. I don't really understand it. Boiling them was a horrible mistake. Frying them worked pretty well, but they still weren't really very good. I don't think we're ever going to try this again. And doesn't pasta KIND OF defeat the spirit of Passover, anyway?

I thought they were good, though that might have been because of the delicious cream sauce you made to go with them. The texture was nice, though.
Pasta probably does defeat the spirit, but I have been having the worst carb cravings, so.
