Gnocchi Ingredients

Method

Gnocchi Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Boil the potatoes in salted water until fork-tender. Drain and let them cool slightly before peeling.

  2. 2

    Make the Dough

    In a large bowl, mash the peeled potatoes until smooth. Add the flour, egg, salt, and nutmeg. Mix until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add more flour as needed.

  3. 3

    Shape the Gnocchi

    On a floured surface, roll the dough into long ropes about 1/2 inch thick. Cut into 1-inch pieces. Optionally, roll each piece over a fork to create ridges.

  4. 4

    Cook the Gnocchi

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Drop the gnocchi into the boiling water in batches. When they float to the surface, they are done (about 2-3 minutes). Remove with a slotted spoon.

  5. 5

    Finish with Sauce

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the cooked gnocchi and sauté for a few minutes until lightly golden. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese before serving.
