Clickbait but since it's ATK I'll allow it.
“Store bought pasta” Nah. Store bought gnocchi. 🙄
Hash browns
Yeah but what about my store-bought spaghetti?
Has anyone tried this with frozen gnocchi? It tends to have some ice crystals so I wonder if it would sputter too much.
Little misleading title. That's gnocchi lol yea its a type of pasta but you shouldnt be boiling gnocchi
NSIS?
Can't believe you'd go through all that effort and then run it with cilantro.
It's NYOHK-kee, not KNOW-kee
This is why we're fat.
Gnocchi is not pasta right?
Bro discovered frying
It looks like you re using the Breville Control Freak (induction) here. What pan and temp?
Everyone knows potatoes and flour will not soak up the 6 tbsp of oil so you're not adding hundreds and hundreds of calories to your pasta dinner
how does this feel more AI than actual AI content
I do this!
I use just a bit of butter instead of soaking them in oil. 😊
Perfect! Was looking for a way to easily consume 6 tablespoons of oil!
I'm on a diet, so i'm gonna stick to boiling for now, thank you
wont the gnocci absorb a lot more oil this way?
Or how about I spray a minute amount of oil over the gnocchi and throw the lot in the air fryer to achieve the exact same effect
oh boy heart failure
Or, yknow, and this is just a wild thought… make it how you want to. Boiling it is just fine. But so is this method, and one is not objectively better than the other, though it may be subjectively better for you. Experiment. Play around.
Yeah, I’m not deep frying my pasta. Don’t want a heart attack thanks. Also, it’s gross. Please continue to boil pasta like normal people.
This is a ridiculously good idea 😂
