The first thing is to prepare the dough following the instructions in our recipe. Once ready, we form balls the size of a walnut. It is important not to knead it excessively so that the gnocchi do not stick.

Once the balls are ready, we bring the water to boil and when it starts to bubble we add the gnocchi. We let them cook for a few minutes, until they start to float. Next, we remove from the heat and drain.

Why do gnocchi stick together?

The gnocchi sticks because the dough is very sticky. If we do not knead the dough excessively and by following the previous steps, we can prevent it from sticking.

Another reason why gnocchi can stick is due to excess flour. If we add too much flour, the dough will be sticky and they will stick together during cooking.

Finally, if we do not drain the gnocchi properly after cooking, they can stick. It is important to remove excess water so that they do not remain wet.
