OUR Rating:
Groceries expense reasonable
Easy to make.
Would we make again?
No - too plain (no flavour). We even tried to fry some of them up, still no flavour.

having lived in Argentina and this being my favorite meal when i was there, i have to say your recipe is only half complete. All Argentines eat Noquis witha homemade red sauce with ground beef in it. they are never fried, just boiled.
also, in the mixture before you boil the Noquis, add an egg or two, i will make for a better consistency. Then for the Argentine look, take a fork and press lightly on the roll and pull toward you for the "knuckle" look. then boil. when it floats its done.
try that and i'll bet you will be having these once a week :)
