Gnocchi Di Patate Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Make the Gnocchi Dough

   Boil the potatoes until tender, then peel and mash them. If using spinach, blanch and chop it finely. In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, flour, egg, salt, and spinach (if using) until a dough forms. Knead gently until smooth.

2. 2

   Shape the Gnocchi

   Divide the dough into sections and roll each into a long rope about 1/2 inch thick. Cut the rope into 1-inch pieces. Press each piece with a fork to create ridges for better sauce adhesion.

3. 3

   Cook the Gnocchi

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi in batches; they are done when they float to the surface, usually in about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

4. 4

   Serve with Sauce

   Toss the cooked gnocchi with your choice of Bolognese, pomodoro, pesto pomodoro, or alfredo sauce. Serve hot and enjoy!
