Method

Making Gnocchetti

Prepare Potatoes

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

Make Dough

Peel the potatoes and mash them in a bowl. Add flour, egg, and salt. Mix until a dough forms.

Shape Gnocchetti

Divide the dough into small pieces, roll into ropes, and cut into small gnocchi pieces. Use a fork to press and shape them.

Cook Gnocchetti

Boil a large pot of salted water. Add the gnocchi and cook until they float to the surface. Drain and set aside.

Making Pesto Sauce

Blend Ingredients

In a food processor, combine basil, pine nuts, garlic, and Parmesan. Pulse until chopped.

Add Olive Oil

With the processor running, slowly drizzle in olive oil. Blend until smooth. Season with salt to taste.

Making Bolognese Sauce

Sauté Vegetables

In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion, carrot, celery, and garlic. Sauté until softened.

Cook Ground Beef

Add ground beef to the pan. Cook until browned. Season with salt, pepper, and oregano.

Add Tomatoes

Stir in canned tomatoes. Simmer for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
