Mix each vegetable separately with Pinnacle mix to form a dry stiff dough. Use extra low protein flour if necessary. With a little extra mix or cornflour on your hands and pastry board roll into small balls about "rounded teaspoon" size or use a Gnocchi making "shaper" to form traditionally shaped gnocchi. Chill or freeze until required. Cook by dropping into rapidly boiling salted water. As soon as they rise to the top of the water they are cooked so remove immediately with a perforated spoon, drain and serve straight away with a suitable sauce eg. Mediterranean vegetable sauce or tomato and onion sauce or a cook-in sauce of choice. Remember to count the protein/units in the sauce!
