These delicious gnocchi are a cross between gnocchi and spaetzle, and they are much quicker to make. The dough is made from cottage cheese, eggs and flour and can be a bit sticky, but if you use enough flour to dust, it will be easy work and great fun. Give it a go and try these ultra-fast gnocchi with aromatic sage butter.
