Gnocchi Dough

Method

Gnocchi Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook Potatoes

    Boil the Russet potatoes in salted water for about 30-40 minutes until tender. Drain and let cool slightly. Peel the potatoes and mash them until smooth.

  2. 2

    Make Dough

    In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, flour, grated Asiago cheese, egg yolk, salt, and black pepper. Mix until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add more flour as needed.

  3. 3

    Shape Gnocchi

    Divide the dough into four pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope, about 1/2 inch thick. Cut the ropes into 1-inch pieces. If desired, use a fork to create ridges on each piece for better sauce adherence.

  4. 4

    Cook Gnocchi

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

Sauce Preparation

  1. 5

    Sauté Garlic

    In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

  2. 6

    Add Cream and Cheese

    Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the grated Asiago cheese until melted and the sauce is smooth.

  3. 7

    Season Sauce

    Add chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper to the sauce. Stir to combine and adjust seasoning to taste.

  4. 8

    Combine Gnocchi and Sauce

    Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet with the sauce. Gently toss to coat the gnocchi evenly with the sauce. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat through.
