1. Place potato flakes in a medium-size bowl. Pour in boiling water; stir until blended. Let cool. 2. Beat egg and stir in salt and pepper. Blend in enough flour to make fairly stiff dough. Turn dough out on a well floured board. Knead lightly. 3. Divide dough in half (I do fourths for easier working). Shape each half into a long thin roll, the thickness of a breadstick. With a knife dipped in flour, cut into bite size pieces. For a more authentic shape, roll against a fork tine and pinch a bit. 4. Place a few gnocchi in boiling water. As the gnocchi rise to the top of the pot, remove them with a slotted spoon. Repeat until all are cooked. Top with tomato sauce. 5. These can be made ahead and frozen. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
