Not every recipe is a great success :(

I found a recipe for Gnocchi on "The Nest" website that I was excited to try. So I spent most of Sunday afternoon making the sauce, cooking the potatoes, mixing them with flour, etc, letting them cool, rolling them out and forming them into small pieces to be cooked. The sauce turned out fine, the gnocchi itself though was not so great. It tasted very doughy, and was not nearly as firm as the kind you get in a restaurant. It kind of had the consistency of the outside of perogies when they have been boiled but not fried. This was my first time trying to make any kind of pasta, and I was disappointed it didn't turn out. However, I am willing to try again, anyone out there have a good gnocchi recipe? I think I will keep looking for recipes from more credible sites - not that I don't love the nest, but I have found most of their recipes are just okay.
