Instructions

Step 1

Melt the butter in a heavy bottom pot, add water and flour. Stir with a wooden spoon over medium high heat. Season the mixture with salt and continue to stir until dough becomes very smooth and pulls away from the sides.

Step 2

Remove dough from heat and transfer to a small table top mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Add mustard, herbs and cheese and slowly beat until well mixed. Once incorporated, add in eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition.

Step 3

Place dough in a pastry bag and let it rest for 45 minutes. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil and season with salt.

Step 4

Once rested, slowly squeeze the dough out of the pastry bag, cutting 1⁄2" pieces with scissors directly into boiling water. The gnocchi are done when they begin to float.

Step 5

Remove gnocchi from water and let them rest on a plate lined with parchment paper. Allow to dry then sauté in butter. Add your favorite vegetables. Serve.
