GNOCCHI (Italian Dumplings) Prepare Italian Meat Tomato Sauce. Meanwhile wash and cook, covered in boiling water, 3 medium potatoes (1 pound). Cook until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and remove skins. Mash or rice. Measure in a bowl 1 3/4 cups flour. Make a well with flour. Add potatoes and 1 egg and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Mix well to make a soft elastic dough. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead. Cut off small pieces of dough and use palm of hand to roll pieces to pencil thickness. Cut into pieces 3/4-inch long. Curl each piece by pressing lightly with the index finger and pulling the finger along the piece of dough towards you. Bring to boil 3 quarts of water. Gradually add all the gnocchi. Boil rapidly uncovered about 8 to 10 minutes or until they come to the surface. Drain by pouring in large colander. Mix Gnocchi and sauce with a generous amount of imported Italian Locatelli or Romano cheese. Serve hot.
