Gnocchi Ingredients

Method

Gnocchi Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Potatoes

    Boil the Russet potatoes in salted water until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and let them cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Dough

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

  3. 3

    Shape the Gnocchi

    Divide the dough into four pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope about ¾ inch thick. Cut into 1-inch pieces and shape with a fork.

  4. 4

    Cook the Gnocchi

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

  5. 5

    Choose Your Sauce

    Serve the gnocchi with your choice of red sauce, marinara, Alfredo, or vodka sauce.
