Gnocchi are simple, but delicious little dumplings made from potato, flour and egg. There is a charming tale to their name. A kind tree overhears a poor wife who laments that she doesn't have anything to cook for her husband returning from war. The tree offers her his knots and when she cooks them, they turn into fluffy dumplings. (Find more pasta stories in The Geometry of Pasta)
