Gnocchi Con Patate E Vongole Recipe

Preparation and Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Make the Gnocchi

   Peel and boil the potatoes until tender. Drain and mash them until smooth. Let cool slightly, then mix in the flour and egg until a dough forms. Roll into long ropes and cut into small pieces to form gnocchi.

2. 2

   Cook the Clams

   In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add lardons and cook until crispy. Add sliced onion and cook until caramelized. Then, add the clams and a splash of water, cover, and steam until clams open.

3. 3

   Prepare the Sauce

   Once the clams are opened, stir in the heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Cook for another couple of minutes until slightly thickened.

   Cook the Gnocchi

   In a separate pot, bring salted water to a boil. Drop in the gnocchi and cook until they float to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon and add to the clam sauce.

5. 5

   Combine and Serve

   Toss the gnocchi gently in the sauce to coat. Serve hot, garnished with micro celery on top.
