Gnocchi Ingredients

Method

Gnocchi Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender. Drain and let cool slightly, then peel.

  2. 2

    Make the Dough

    Mash the peeled potatoes until smooth. In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, flour, egg, and salt. Mix until a dough forms.

  3. 3

    Shape the Gnocchi

    Divide the dough into small portions. Roll each portion into a long rope about 1 cm thick, then cut into 2 cm pieces. Use a fork to create ridges on each piece.

  4. 4

    Cook the Gnocchi

    Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Drop the gnocchi into the water in batches. They are done when they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add crushed tomatoes and simmer for 10 minutes. Season with salt to taste.

  6. 6

    Combine and Serve

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