Gnocchi

Bolognese Sauce

Method

Gnocchi Preparation

1

Make the Dough

Boil the potatoes until fork-tender. Drain and let cool slightly before peeling. Mash the potatoes until smooth and allow to cool completely. Combine the mashed potatoes, flour, egg, and salt in a bowl. Mix until a dough forms.

2

Shape the Gnocchi

On a floured surface, divide the dough into sections and roll each section into a long rope about 1/2 inch thick. Cut into 1-inch pieces. Optionally, press each piece with a fork to create ridges.

3

Cook the Gnocchi

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add gnocchi in batches, cooking until they float to the surface (about 2-3 minutes). Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Bolognese Sauce Preparation

4

Sauté the Vegetables

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables are softened (about 5 minutes).

5

Add Meat and Calamari

Add ground beef and cook until browned. Stir in the calamari and cook for another 2-3 minutes.

6

Add Tomatoes and Seasonings

Add crushed tomatoes, garlic, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir well and let simmer for 15-20 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Combine and Serve

7

Combine Gnocchi and Sauce

Gently toss the cooked gnocchi with the bolognese sauce. Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil or grated cheese if desired.
