Ready to get cooking? Here’s my step-by-step recipe for homemade gnocchi that’s simple enough for even the busiest of moms:

• Ingredients:
  - 2 cups of mashed carrots (about 3-4 medium carrots)- 1 cup of all-purpose flour (you might need a bit more for dusting)- A pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. First, peel and boil the carrots until they’re soft. Drain and mash them well.

2. In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed carrots and salt. Gradually add flour until you form a soft dough. Be careful not to overwork it!

3. On a floured surface, roll the dough into long ropes and cut them into small pieces. You can use a fork to add a classic gnocchi shape.

4. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and drop the gnocchi in. They’re done when they float to the surface (about 2-3 minutes).

5. Serve with your favorite sauce or just a drizzle of olive oil and some grated cheese!
