This recipe comes, almost completely unmodified, from cooking.com. Since it's cooked in batches, they call for putting the cooked gnocchi in a bowl of melted butter while the others cook, to keep them from sticking together... obviously, this is out, but you could use a LITTLE olive oil or some light margarine instead.
1 lb potatoes
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Steam potatoes until cooked but firm; peel. Spread flour on a board and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and the nutmeg. When potatoes are cool, mash without adding any butter or milk. Place potato in a mound in the center of the flour and start incorporating the flour with your hands, little by little, until all but 1/2 cup flour is incorporated. Begin to knead the flour and potato mixture, incorporating the last 1/2 cup of flour. Knead for 5 minutes. Divide the mixture into 3 pieces, roll each piece into a roll 1/2 inch in diameter. Cut each roll into 1 inch pieces, pressing each individual gnocchi with the tines of a fork.
Heat a large amount of water with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt in a large saucepan. When boiling, add gnocchi, one by one. Gently stir with a wooden spoon. After gnocchi come to the surface, allow them to cook for 1 minute more. Remove with a slotted spoon to a dish containing warmed, melted butter. When all are cooked, combine with tomato sauce and serve.
Serves 4.

Pastas can always be prevented from sticking together by putting some of the sauce on them while they wait. A tomato sauce is probably the best option. Also russet potatoes are a must for gnocchi because they have less moisture- dry and fluffy is what you want!
