Okay. I kinda fake it every time.
about equal parts flour and milk. 2 eggs. beat all the liquid stuff up, add the flour all at once, grate a shitload of parmesan into that dough, season it, and then make the shape you want - can be rolled into snakes, and cut, then shaped with a fork (holds sauce better with a shape), or piped out of a frosting bag, and cut as it comes out.
Make your pasta dumpling things, let it dry for a bit, or put them in the freezer for an hour, and then boil them a total of about 2 to 3 minutes.
Essentially, make basic pasta, make it the right shape to be called gnocchi, and fake it.
In the mean time, put heavy cream in a hot pan, reduce it until it is a nice sauce type consistency, add gorgonzola, bleu cheese, or whatever cranks your Evinrude, add cracked pepper, add the cooked pasta, toss, enjoy hot, hot sex later.
