Notes
- When incorporating the egg and cheese mixture, it's vital that you remove the pan from the heat and add the mixture in slowly to prevent egg scrambling.
- Do not wipe the pan out before you fry the gnocchi. You want all that wonderful flavor!
- No Fresh Gnocchi? - Simply bring a large pot of salted water to boil and cook your store bought gnocchi (dried) according to package directions. Reserve pasta water to add to cooked gnocchi before serving. Usually ¼ cup will do. My husband ads a little more pasta water, maybe ⅓ of a cup.
