Gnocchi Alla Pepe Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Gnocchi

   Boil the potatoes in salted water until fork-tender. Once cooked, drain and let them cool slightly. Peel the potatoes and mash them in a bowl.

2. 2

   Mix in the flour, egg, and salt until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more flour. Divide the dough into portions and roll each into a rope about 3/4 inch thick. Cut into 1-inch pieces to form gnocchi.

3. 3

   Use a fork to press down on each piece to create the characteristic gnocchi shape. Set aside.

4. 4

   Cook the Chicken and Broccoli

   In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

5. 5

   Cut the chicken into bite-sized chunks, season with salt and black pepper, and add to the skillet. Cook until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

6. 6

   Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes until the broccoli is tender but still vibrant.

7. 7

   Cook the Gnocchi

   In a separate pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to the skillet with the chicken and broccoli.

8. 8

   Combine and Serve

   Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the mixture and toss gently to combine. Add grated Parmesan cheese and season with additional black pepper to taste. Serve hot.
