Dumplings

Method

Prepare the Dumplings

  1. 1

    Cook Potatoes

    Boil the potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 30-40 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Make Dough

    Peel the potatoes and pass them through a potato ricer into a large bowl. Add flour, egg, and salt. Mix until a soft dough forms. If too sticky, add a bit more flour.

  3. 3

    Shape Gnocchi

    On a floured surface, divide the dough into sections and roll each section into a rope about 1 cm thick. Cut into 2 cm pieces and shape each piece with a fork.

Prepare the Sauce

  1. 4

    Cook Sauce

    In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add San Marzano tomatoes, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 15-20 minutes. Stir in fresh basil.

Bake the Gnocchi

  1. 5

    Combine and Bake

    Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). In a clay baking dish, combine gnocchi with the tomato sauce. Top with slices of buffalo mozzarella and sprinkle with grated Parmesan. Bake for 20-25 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.

  2. 6

    Serve

    Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh basil leaves, and serve hot.
