Grandma's Gnocchi Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Pasta and Noodle Recipes. (Grandma's Gnocchi Recipe). My grandmother used to make these when I was a little girl. When I was old enough to realize that I needed to get her delicious recipes, she showed me how to make a lot of her wonderful dishes. She never wrote anything down and she rarely used a cookbook. She also didn't measure things the same each time, so sometimes you have to add a little to the recipes.
