On a floured surface, use your palms to roll each piece into a long tube. - Use a knife to cut each tube into 5 cm long pieces. Dust each gnocchi with flour

- Roll each piece on a grater, pressing with your thumb to give it the classic shape ....et voilà......

Let them cook 1 more minute and then remove with a slotted spoon) ...ready to be served with hot Bolognese Sauce! ..and if you don't like Bolognese sauce , you can have them with your favourite pasta sauce or just sautéed with butter and sage.
