Examples

“Dip each gnocco into the flour, shaking off excess. Carefully lower the gnocchi, one at a time, into the simmering water. Cook⟳ a few at a time since they must not touch⟳ each other while cooking. The gnocchi will be cooked when they rise⟳ to the surface; this should take⟳ 2 to 3 minutes, depending on the gnocchi.”

“Test⟳ one gnocchi by placing it in a large pot of rapidly boiling lightly salted water.”

“Silky, feather-light and with an other-worldly texture, home-made gnocchi is one of the most spoiling things you can make⟳ for someone, yet it is surprisingly simple to put⟳ together, especially when just for two.”
