It was a "fear inducing food" for me too, I had tried to make it a few times, but it was awful, I was left with a mess, and usually a blob of inedible goo. Doing it this way was a lot easier and it seemed to work quite well.<BR/><BR/>I'm not entirely sure how long it took to make the gnocchi, I am guessing probably an hour, maybe a little less, I am kind of slow in the kitchen. Yes, you can freeze it. In fact, I halved my dough, formed a ball and froze it for later use. I'll just roll it out and cut it up once it is thawed. You could go ahead and get those steps out of the way and freeze it too.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01760009169211682230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2507829329403685696.post-38494079404667875582008-12-20T08:08:00.000-06:002008-12-20T08:08:00.000-06:00You are AMAZING!!

This is another one of those "fear to cook" foods for me, so hearing that you can really do it helps. How long did it take? Do you think they would freeze well?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2507829329403685696.post-34083239334503178082008-12-19T11:25:00.000-06:002008-12-19T11:25:00.000-06:00Heather - You really drive a hard bargain!

And then the comment about the bread rising...not fair...knees and resolve getting weak... ;-)<BR/><BR/>Cookiemouse - I concur!<BR/><BR/>Bianca - You should, I mean, if I can do it, you can definitely do it! The pumpkin added a nice flavor but didn't overpower the gnocchi which I really appreciated.<BR/><BR/>Hahaha, nut cream does sound a little dirty. That is, if your mind in in the gutter! (Kidding.) I will try to add that to the post sometime this weekend.<BR/><BR/>Srow77 - Thanks for the recipe, I really appreciated it, and I also appreciated the reminder about gnocchi, I needed to try it out again. That is nice to know about the shaping.<BR/><BR/>Jessy - As I mentioned to Bianca above, I will try too add the sauce recipe to this post sometime this weekend. Emailing probably isn't a bad idea though, I have a way of forgetting things.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad the instructions are alright. Sometimes certain things are really difficult to describe in terms of a process. I'm glad I'm not the only one who gets irritated with those sorts of things, shaping the gnocchi really isn't worth the effort. <BR/><BR/>I don't think you've been lazy lately, it sounds like you've been BUSY.<BR/><BR/>Courtney - It IS really hard. I had a lot easier of a time this go round though. I still made a huge mess in the kitchen making these (and it WAS worth the mess), but it didn't end in disaster, which justifies the difficulty in my mind.<BR/><BR/>Alice - I have to admit, I laughed out loud when I read your comment. I truly understand why it is confusing as to how you would eat a taco if you've never seen it done, it just seems so weird to me that someone has never seen someone else eat a taco! Not all of us live in a country attached to Mexico or come from a family that loves Mexican food though. You are too funny. I'm glad that you like vegan burritos. In my mind, you can do so many things with them. Stuff 'em with whatever you have around, top it with salsa, and you are good to go. (Well, perhaps don't stuff it with just <I>anything</I> lying around, not sure a shoe flavored burrito would be good, even WITH really spicy salsa. :-)<BR/><BR/>Miss V - These were really good, I appreciate Scott sharing the recipe so I could do my thing with it.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01760009169211682230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2507829329403685696.post-18208174562387349552008-12-18T12:16:00.000-06:002008-12-18T12:16:00.000-06:00ooo.. different. i like.ooo.. different. i like.miss vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04180777638105214212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2507829329403685696.post-67094172706553365302008-12-18T10:58:00.000-06:002008-12-18T10:58:00.000-06:00Gnocchi used to be my favorite food!

This sounds delicious though. I love the idea of using pumpkin, and I love faux alfredo sauces, so I'm sure I'd like cashew cream. Any kind of nut cream (which sounds very dirty, btw) is fine by me.Biancahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11545245728462853370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2507829329403685696.post-10452798113694075142008-12-17T13:59:00.000-06:002008-12-17T13:59:00.000-06:00I love gnocchi, and made of pumpkin?
