So, let's get started. Here’s what you need and how to make your own delicious gnocchi.

Ingredients:

For Gnocchi:

2 tbsp salted butter powder
1 cup instant potato flakes
1 cup boiling water
1 cup all purpose flour
1 egg
Himalayan salt (fine grain) - to taste
½ tsp organic garlic powder
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley (or any other fresh or dry herb of choice)

For Cheddar Cheese Sauce:

½ cup white cheddar cheese powder
1 cup whole milk
2 tbsp salted butter powder
2 tbsp fresh chopped parsley
½ tsp organic garlic powder
Himalayan salt (fine grain) - to taste
Organic black pepper powder - to taste
½ tsp dried oregano

Directions:

In a medium bowl, stir potato flakes and boiling water until well incorporated. Let cool for 2 minutes, stir in egg, salt, butter powder, garlic powder, chopped parsley or choice of herbs in. Slowly add in the flour incorporating a third at a time, the dough will become thick and won’t stick to the bowl anymore.
Place the dough on a floured surface, divide it into four portions, and roll each portion into ½ inch thick ropes, cut into ¾ inch pieces. Press and roll each piece with a lightly floured fork to give the pasta a nice shape with ridges.
In a medium pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add gnocchi once water is boiling and make sure to not overcrowd the pot. Once the gnocchi are ready, they will float, continue to cook for 2 minutes after they float. Remove with a slotted spoon and reserve 1 cup pasta water for the cheddar cheese sauce.
Add 1 cup of milk to a large skillet, and once it starts boiling add ½ cup of the white cheddar powder, 2 tbsp butter powder and stir constantly for 2 to 3 minutes on medium high heat.
Add the gnocchi and stir in pasta water until the sauce is the right consistency, make sure to keep the sauce a little thin since it will thicken as it cools.
Turn off the heat and add garlic powder, dried oregano, fresh chopped parsley, black pepper, and salt to taste. The sauce might not need more salt due to the saltiness of the butter, pasta water, and cheese powder.
Serve hot, and enjoy!
