We have already prepared many gnocchi together! But, considering that there are countless variations, today I propose the exquisite Parisian gnocchi which - I must admit - I discovered them almost by chance! How are they prepared? With a simple choux pastry yes, just that: the same pasta with which the cream puffs are prepared. The dough is then boiled in water and au gratin in the oven with béchamel and parmesan.

Did you know that.
In the original recipe, the Parisian gnocchi are flavored with Mornay sauce, which is nothing more than a bechamel enriched with a yolk and parmesan cheese. To reduce the total amount of fat and cholesterol, here we have proposed a simple light béchamel, prepared without butter and with rice milk.- Meanwhile, boil a saucepan with plenty of lightly salted water. Transfer the choux pastry mixture into a pastry bag with a smooth spout.
- As soon as the water starts to boil, place the sac à poche over the casserole and push the mixture to the end of the pocket: get small dumplings with the help of a knife. It is recommended to refer to the video. With a slotted spoon, gradually remove the gnocchi from the cooking water as soon as they begin to float, and place them in the pan with the béchamel. Continue in this way until all the dough is finished.
- Cover the gnocchi with the remaining béchamel, sprinkle with grated parmesan and bake at 180 ° C for 15 minutes or in the microwave for 5 minutes (combined micro-grill function).
- Serve the steaming dumplings.
