4-year-old grand daughter, Julia and I tackled Ecco La Pasta's homemade
potato gnocchi mix and had spectacular results. Julia dumped water
which we had measured together, into a bowl containing the mix and
helped knead the dough. She rolled out "snakes," which I cut into
nuggets that she gently pressed with a fork, then arranged on a baking
sheet, ready to boil up and serve. Fresh gnocchi in time for lunch!
RP's Pasta Company, the Madison, Wis. company that makes the mix, also sells plain and subtly flavored fresh egg pasta mixes. The dough was easy to mix and roll out, but I had to separate the noodles one at a time after cutting them. So the pasta, which was excellent, took 30 min., not 10 to make. |
 GOOD EATING Renee Enna July 14, 2004 Presto! Pasta!
We liked the texture and flavor of the
spinach pasta we made with Ecco La Pasta flour mixes, which streamline
the making of fresh pasta and gnocchi at home. Cooks just add water,
then mix it (with a mixer, food processor or by hand) and roll it out,
using a rolling machine or by hand. Four flavors of pasta flour and
four flavors of gnocchi flour are available.

Instant Noodles! For those torn between the quality of homemade pasta and the time it takes to produce it, Ecco La Pasta has a line of mixes that only require water to produce fresh pasta and gnocchi doughs. The gnocchi we tested was light,
pillowy and easily made in 10 minutes.
The pasta, on the other hand, while good, still had to be rolled out by
hand or
through a pasta maker, which is the most time-consuming part of making
it. Ecco

 March 2005 OH MY LITTLE DUMPLING
Gnocchi, small Italian potato dumplings, can be an alternative to pasta, rice, or "just-the-usual" potao side dish. Combine them with meat balls, spinach, and your favorite red sauce, or serve them drizzled with olive oil and smothered in shaved Parmesan. Eliminate one or two steps when making homemade gnocchi with Ecco La Pasta Gnocchi Flour, an add-water flour mix. In 10 minutes you'll have fresh gnocchi.  2005 isuse #9 Homemade pasta in half the time If you slave for
hours over a slow-cooking pot of your special marinara, you owe it to
yourself to ladel it over homemade pasta. Ecco La Pasta has found a way
to honor your craftsmanship, but also give you a break, with their
"just add water pasta and gnocchi mixes. Made with durum flour and eggs
for the pasta flour (and potato flakes, flour and eggs in the gnocchi)
Ecco La Pasta is available plain or in three flavors: spinach, garlic
parsley, and sun-dried tomato. All you so is add water and roll.
