The classic potato gnocchi in Italian dishes is a dumpling (gnocchi is the Italian word for dumpling) and, prepared in the same way as most other dumplings, formed and cooked in stock or other liquid. They can be made from a combination of mashed potatoes and flour, or just potato or just flour with enough liquid to form a raw pasta dough. Often cheeses or eggs are added and sometimes an herb or chopped spinach is mixed in. They are rolled into elongated balls about one and a half or two inches long and then either pressed with a thumb or finger to slightly indent the middle, or gently scored with the tines of a fork to make indented ridges in the center of the dumpling that help hold the sauce. They plump slightly when cooked. They are the beige color of most typical dumplings, usually served with marinara sauce or other favorite Italian sauces.
