Low Cholesterol Gnocchi

Ingredients:

1 1/2 Cups Cottage Cheese (small curd)

1-2 tsp salt

Directions:

• Mix all ingredients together (flour goes in a 1/2 cup at a time) in a bowl until slightly dry.
• Turn out onto floured surface and knead.
• Try to add the least amount of flour necessary to keep it from sticking.
• Divide into several balls, roll out each ball with your hands into a tube about the thickness of your thumb.
• Cut the tube into 1" pieces.
• Refrigerate on a cornmeal dusted cookie sheet till ready to cook.
