Gnocchi and Sauce
Method
Preparation
- 1
Make the Gnocchi
Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender. Drain and let cool slightly. Peel and mash the potatoes in a large bowl.

Mix in the flour, egg, and salt until a dough forms. Knead gently on a floured surface until smooth. Divide into sections and roll into ropes, then cut into small pieces to form the gnocchi.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Drop the gnocchi in batches and cook until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and set aside.

Prepare the Sauce
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add the cherry tomatoes and cook until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted.

Add the gnocchi to the skillet, tossing gently to combine with the sauce. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, basil, and black pepper.

Serve hot, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and fresh basil, if desired.
