Gnocchi

Vegetables

Method

Prepare the Gnocchi

  1. 1

    Cook the Potatoes

    Boil the potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let them cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Mash the Potatoes

    Peel the potatoes and mash them in a large mixing bowl until smooth.

  3. 3

    Form the Dough

    Add flour, egg, and salt to the mashed potatoes. Mix until a dough forms, adding more flour if necessary.

  4. 4

    Shape the Gnocchi

    Divide the dough into smaller pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope and cut into bite-sized pieces. Optionally, use a fork to create ridges.

Cook the Vegetables

  1. 5

    Chop the Vegetables

    Dice the zucchini, bell pepper, and carrot into small pieces.

  2. 6

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped vegetables and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until tender. Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted.

Prepare the Sauce

  1. 7

    Make the White Wine Sauce

    In the same skillet used for the vegetables, add the remaining butter and white wine. Cook until the wine reduces by half, about 3-4 minutes.

  2. 8

    Add Lemon Juice

    Stir in lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the sauce. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Combine and Serve

  1. 9

    Cook the Gnocchi

    In a pot of boiling salted water, cook the gnocchi until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain.

  2. 10

    Mix Everything Together

    Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet with the sauce and vegetables. Toss gently to combine.

  3. 11

    Serve

    Serve the vegetable gnocchi warm, garnished with additional black pepper if desired.
