Bring water and salt to a simmer over medium heat. Turn heat off and add flour, stirring rapidly until a dough is formed.
Turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead until the dough is smooth and somewhat elastic, 3 minutes. Divide dough into quarters and roll each piece out into 1 inch thick ropes. Cut ropes of dough into 1 inch pieces, and if desired roll each piece on the tongs of a fork to form ridges.
Cook the gnocchi in boiling water for 3-5 minutes and serve with your favorite sauce.
