These gnocchi bear a slight physical resemblance to their Italian cousins, but in other ways they are quite different. These gnocchi are extremely tender and will feel very soft and delicate on the tongue. It is very important not to overcook the dough during the boiling so these do not fall apart./There are many recipes for gnocchi à la parisienne. The principal difference between recipes seems to be whether a Béchamel or Mornay sauce is specified. The difference is actually slight since a Mornay sauce is just a Béchamel sauce with cheese added to it.

  • béchamel sauce
  • coarse salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon chilled butter
  • 25 g gruyere cheese, grated

  • Recipe preparation steps

  • 1
    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • 2
    Preheat a broiler.
  • 3
    Prepare the gratin dish by spreading a little of the Béchamel sauce over the bottom.
  • 4
    Transfer the puff pastry dough to a pastry bag fitted with a five-eighth inch plain tip. Hold the dough-filled pastry bag at the edge of the pot with the tip over the boiling water. Working very rapidly and using a small knife, cut off 1" long sections of dough so they drop into the water. Cook the dumplings until they puff, about 3 minutes. Drain the dumplings well with a skimmer and place immediately into the gratin dish.

    Top dumplings with the remaining sauce. Sprinkle the cheese and the chilled butter over the top.
  • 6
    Bake until the surface is browned, about 3 minutes.
  • Ready !
