Gnocchi Dough

Chanterelle Sauce

Method

Gnocchi Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook Potatoes

    Boil the russet potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 20-30 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly before peeling.

  2. 2

    Make Dough

    Pass the peeled potatoes through a potato ricer into a large bowl. Add egg yolk, salt, and gradually mix in flour until a soft dough forms. Do not overwork the dough.

  3. 3

    Shape Gnocchi

    On a lightly floured surface, divide the dough into four pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope about 1/2 inch thick. Cut into 1-inch pieces and shape each piece with a fork to create ridges. Place on a floured baking sheet.

Chanterelle Sauce Preparation

  1. 4

    Sauté Mushrooms

    In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Add chanterelle mushrooms and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 5

    Make Cheese Sauce

    Pour in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Add taleggio cheese and stir until melted and smooth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix in chopped chives.

Final Assembly

  1. 6

    Cook Gnocchi

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon.

  2. 7

    Combine and Serve

    Gently toss the gnocchi with the chanterelle sauce. Serve immediately, garnished with additional chives if desired.
