To form the gnocci, cut off or pull off a small handful of dough. Roll the piece of dough into a log approximately 1/2" thick. ( I have a machine that will cut the log into shells-but you don't really need one.) With a very sharp knife, cut the log into 3/4" pieces-or smaller-then with the tines of a fork, press the piece and roll it toward you so that it makes the indentation of the fork on one side and a slight indentation across on the other side and it looks sort of like a shell. Sprinkle lightly with flour and let dry for an hour.

Heat the olive oil and butter in a heavy frying pan. When the butter begins to sizzle add the garlic and saute just until the garlic begins to turn golden. Remove from the heat and add the water. Pour over the gnocci and sprinkle on the cheese. Mix well. You can add a little garlic salt if you like.
