Beef Bolognese Recipe

Gnocchi Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Potatoes

   Boil the potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly, then peel.

2. 2

   Make the Dough

   Pass the potatoes through a ricer or mash them until smooth. On a clean surface, combine the riced potatoes, flour, salt, and egg. Knead gently until a smooth dough forms.

3. 3

   Shape the Gnocchi

   Divide the dough into four pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope about 1/2 inch in diameter. Cut the ropes into 1-inch pieces and shape them with a fork.

4. 4

   Cook the Gnocchi

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