Gnocchi Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Gnocchi

   Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender. Drain and cool slightly. Peel and mash the potatoes until smooth.

2. 2

   Make the Dough

   In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, flour, egg, and salt. Mix until a dough forms. If too sticky, add more flour as needed.

3. 3

   Shape the Gnocchi

   Divide the dough into smaller pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope about 1/2 inch thick. Cut into 1-inch pieces and use a fork to create ridges on one side.

4. 4

   Cook the Gnocchi

   Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Drop the gnocchi in batches; once they float to the surface, cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon.

5. 5

   Prepare the Sauce

   In a blender, combine roasted garlic, habanero pepper, and heavy cream. Blend until smooth. In a saucepan, heat olive oil, then add the cream mixture. Simmer on low for 5-7 minutes.

6. 6

   Combine and Serve

   Add the cooked gnocchi to the sauce and toss to coat. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese and season with black pepper. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
