Since the frying of the gnocci sounds like it's a texture thing (rather than a cooking thing, since usually gnocci gets boiled) I'm thinking to keep the frying method but find a good home-made pesto recipe so you can control the calories.<br /><br />Let us know if you try it!Annie, The Amazing Shrinking Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14154401014639898384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7794200082258605160.post-80884837330700353022012-04-13T05:01:18.254-07:002012-04-13T05:01:18.254-07:00You could boil or bake the gnocci instead of fryin...You could boil or bake the gnocci instead of frying it?

I would just eat lighter meals earlier in the day and "save up" for it. Might not be the best idea, but well.. I do whatever I want :pMarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09723154108032675494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7794200082258605160.post-10994717052101543872012-04-12T06:31:58.779-07:002012-04-12T06:31:58.779-07:00that recipe sounds like it was worth EVERY calorie...that recipe sounds like it was worth EVERY calorie though :-) yeah, i think it would work the same way making hard taco shells in the oven works. i used to fry corn tortillas in oil...and they soak up a TON. but i just spray them with olive oil, and bake them at 425 for 8-10 minutes RIGHT on the rack. I would put some aluminum foil right on the rack, preheat the oven to 425, put the gnocchi on the aluminum foil in a single layer, spray with olive oil and bake for 10 mins (stirring/turning them half way through). thanks for the almond butter suggestion by the way!! i am going to look for some tomorrow!Elhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18161349915619029673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7794200082258605160.post-8927865373075336342012-04-11T20:42:43.596-07:002012-04-11T20:42:43.596-07:00Ah, see this is why I have to ask people who know ...Ah, see this is why I have to ask people who know how to cook. I was thinking I might have to do just the opposite - put it on a very high temp for a short time, like I'm toasting them...which I guess wouldn't do much for the centers of them.<br /><br />Thanks for the tip. Maybe I'll experiment with different methods and temps with only 3 or 4 at a time.Treadmill Hikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10404138765633747049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7794200082258605160.post-74720913500933435022012-04-11T20:11:22.063-07:002012-04-11T20:11:22.063-07:00I've never made gnocchi -- but how about just ...I've never made gnocchi -- but how about just blanching it in boiling water to soften it up and then baking it in the oven? Perhaps with just a touch of olive oil brushed over it ... I think the trick would be to keep it on a low temperature for a longer period of time and turn it every once in a while.PlumPetalshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16879841900594034234noreply@blogger.com
