Homemade Potato Gnocchi In A Simple Rose Sauce.

Gnocchi, not an easy word to pronounce or spell … lol

Making gnocchi from scratch takes very little effort & the rewards are so worth it.

Soft pillowy potato pasta that needs less than a handful of ingredients you most likely already have on hand.

In Italy, gnocchi (like most of the pasta dishes) are traditionally served in small portions as a “primo piatto”, first course. These little “dumplings” can be served with a variety of sauces from marinara, Rosee, meat sauce, pesto, simple butter with sage and many more.

We will show you step by step on how easy it is to make these super soft delicious of goodness in every bite.

Gnocchi can be easily frozen. After shaping them, arrange them on a single layer baking sheet. Place in the freezer. Once the gnocchi are frozen, transfer them into an air tight container or a freezer bag. When ready to cook, simply drop them directly into salted boiling water. DO NOT THAW.

INGREDIENTS: Serves 4

2 cups (240 g) A/P flour

1 1/2 lb. (680 g) small thin skinned potatoes 🥔

1 egg

1/2 tsp. salt

SAUCE:

4 cups marinara sauce

1/2 - 1 cup (120 g - 240 g) cooking cream

DIRECTIONS:

1) Wash & put to boil the potatoes till they are fork tender (approx. 8-10 minutes).Drain and pat dry.

2) While the potatoes are still warm, press them through a ricer in a large bowl.

Sift your flour in a separate large bowl.

3) Add the egg & salt into the riced potatoes 🥔. Gradually add the flour into the potatoes. Dough should be soft & smooth, but not sticky.

4) Prepare a baking sheet lined with a clean dish towel. Lightly flour the dish towel.

5) Roll out the dough into a log. Cut approx. 8 equal size pieces. Roll out one piece of dough at a time & cut approx. 1” (2.5 cm) pieces.

6) You can keep the pieces straight cut OR roll each piece of dough over a lightly floured wooden paddle with ridges or over the back of a lightly floured fork to form the grooves in the dough. Place them on a lined prepared baking sheet. Continue to roll out the remaining pieces of dough.

7) Fill a large pot of water, bring to boil. Generously season with salt. At the same time, start warming up the leftover marinara sauce.

8) Place the gnocchi on a spider ladle. Gently lower them into the boiling water. While the gnocchi’s are cooking, add the cooking cream into the marinara sauce.
