    Better late than never, right? I got sick last week and so didn’t manage to make the gnocchi until last night – but I was so glad I did! Totally delicious and perfect comfort food. Here’s my link:

    Posting for Earnie:

    I made the Bechamel sauce first and adjusted the recipe to have equal parts of flour and butter. I cut the recipe for the sauce in half as there are just the two of us. Still, by the time I needed to use the sauce, it was too thick and required thinning.

    I made the full recipe of gnocchi and froze at least half if not more for another recipe.

    I used a pastry bag and a knife to cut the dough into the simmering water but didn’t have a large enough tip so ended up using a teaspoon. That made for a much nicer looking and sized gnocchi.

    Despite the gnocchi, the cheese, the Bechamel and the butter, I was disappointed in the dish. There was not the richness I had expected. I would prefer the simplest of a Southern Mac & Cheese.

    The finished dish was served with a spicy roasted tomato soup and I found the soup the star of the meal.

    This was a rather labor intensive recipe and not one I will repeat often. That said, I will test the frozen gnocchi to determine whether the work is worth making and freezing them.

    A little bit of a scare with the bechamel – but end results were very yummy. Whew. Stay warm!

    Gosh this was wonderful…lots of dirty pots and pans, but worth it!!!

    These were so hard for me, since I’m italian and gnocchi is like a religious dish in my family. But I got to say – GOOD, really good.

    Rich. I added a little truffle oil and a few mushrooms, quite yummy, still the many dirty pots and pans will have to wait…this meal requires time to recover:

    I agree with the rich comment but they were still yummy!

  12. StephIrey January 13, 2011 at 10:16 PM #

    Tasted great…even if a little time consuming. The leftovers were great (even though Dorie said they might not hold well).

    I agree with the number of dishes required, but I got them washed while the dish baked. I was also worried about comparing it too much to Italian gnocchi (just look at my last name, will ya?! And yes, it was rich for January, but a small portion was just right with my homemade tomato soup … like grilled cheese and soup, only better.

    Glad I made this, very simple and satisfying.

    I used a different Bechemel…6 Tablespoons of Flour for 21/2 T. of butter and 2 cups of milk? Did I read that correctly? I ended throwing my first batch out. This tasted good, but it was very rich.

  19. PheMom January 14, 2011 at 2:05 AM #

    I made two individual sized ramekins, then froze the rest for another time. Nothing like having something fast in the freezer for another day!

    • LaJuana January 14, 2011 at 7:51 PM #

      Aren’t you smart! Wish I’d thought of that. When I read that it needed to be served now and didn’t hold well I decided not to make it. I’ll try it another time…and freeze the extra to cook later.

  20. RedsKitchenDiaries January 14, 2011 at 2:51 AM #

    sweet jeebus. if you’re trying to put your family or guests into a food coma, this is your dish.

    http://redskitchendiaries.wordpress.com/2011/01/14/french-fridays-gnocchi-a-la-parisienne/

    the cheesy bechamel sauce was outstanding, but combined with the chou pastry gnocchi, it was just … too … much …

    • ComeUndone January 14, 2011 at 9:57 AM #

      I giggled as soon as I read “food coma”. I sit this week out for the very same reason.

    • maryeats January 14, 2011 at 11:52 PM #

      Agreed. I took only one bite, and had a hard time finishing a big mouthful of dough, butter and cream. Tooooooo much.

  21. mardi@eatlivetravelwrite January 14, 2011 at 5:57 AM #

    Went to great lengths to get a shot of this before it deflated!

    http://www.eatlivetravelwrite.com/2011/01/french-fridays-with-dorie-gnocchi-a-la-parisienne/

    I made 1/3 of the recipe and it was perfect for a light Sunday lunch. Not sure why people had issues with so many dishes to be washed… It was the easiest dish I made last weekend and used the fewest dishes…

  22. popsiclesandsandyfeet January 14, 2011 at 6:29 AM #

    We called it French Macaroni and Cheese for the under five crowd and it was a big hit.

  24. Boneats January 14, 2011 at 7:11 AM #

    I halved the recipe, shaped the gnocchi in advance and still have leftovers in the fridge. The gnocchi are so light and fluffy, yet just a good handful will fill you up quickly. Delicious! And such an incredibly easy recipe to do. Going to make again tonight with the leftover gnocchi and bechamel tonight for a friend who’s coming over for dinner.

    My first week participating!

    http://www.stetted.com/index.php/2011/01/14/gnocci-a-la-parisienne/

    While it was rich, it still seemed lighter than a traditional macaroni and cheese dish. We had it with a salad and I didn’t feel a food coma coming at all :)

    Truly magnificent! This may be my favorite French Fridays recipe yet!

    There were a lot of dishes to wash, but this was something new for me to learn!

  35. Newfinmysoup January 14, 2011 at 10:58 AM #

    A very pleasant surprise – loved how the gnocchi puffed, but was still soft and pillowy inside.

  36. marcella January 14, 2011 at 11:07 AM #

    Good but really too rich for me. I nearly didn’t make this recipe because it’s such a rich and – well let’s just say it, totally unhealthy dish – but I am glad we did try it in the end. Not likely to be made twice though.

  52. the urban baker January 14, 2011 at 5:28 PM #

    I just made this and posted it. I LOVED the bechamel sauce. It was one of my favorites that I have ever made. Next time I would make real potato gnocchi and use this bechamel sauce. So good!

  53. anymi January 14, 2011 at 5:58 PM #

    We also liked it very much! We make it tonight and I just posted it, though until tomorrow it will remain a short notice.

  55. Patti January 14, 2011 at 7:19 PM #

    Yummy but I ended up with a sauce that was too thick. And I agree with those that posted about all the dishes, wow, I made a mess in the kitchen today!

    Others talked about how light and fluffy their gnocchi was. I felt mine was just the opposite…dense and heavy. I liked, but didn’t love.

    I’m checking in from North-Eastern Idaho where I am totally frozen (I know, lots of you live in this type of climate, but for me…..this is totally foreign!) and out of my element…but…I did it. I made the Gnocchi and it was a hearty dinner just right for this snowed in evening.

      Couldn’t comment on the post itself, but just wanted to say that that video was hilarious. I thought about trying to make this recipe gluten-free, but found the idea a little daunting. Instead, I made a small batch for me and made some gluten-free pasta for my partner. Enjoy your vacation!

  71. Karla January 16, 2011 at 11:37 AM #

    Late again! But, this was super delicious for us, and not at all what I expected. Will definitely make again and might try the pastry bag technique for more uniformly shaped gnocchi!

    Well I made these and I am so glad I did. They puffed up nicely and were light and airy.

    Unfortunately, I took pictures and the camera was too full to record them!! But they looked just like they were supposed to look…..

    I must have known this wasn’t a dish for us. Late, late, late. http://theviewfrom302.blogspot.com/2011/01/gnocchi-thank-you.html

    But the whole family is eager for this week!

  80. Kristin January 24, 2011 at 3:17 PM #

    I have to say, I was not fond of the recipe at all. The bechamel sauce was a glue, and neither the sauce or the gnocchi had flavor (and I made the gnocchi too big). I didn’t post anything.

  81. Waverly @ peaceandloveinthekitchen.com January 28, 2011 at 12:54 PM #

    I had doubts, but what do I know? It was rich and delicious.
