Gnocchi is a pasta based on potato, making it a less bloating alternative to other kinds of pasta.
|
|
They are substantial and can be roasted in butter and other ingredients.
|
|
|
|
## Ingredients
|
|
|
|
- potatoes
|
|
- flour
|
|
- tomato
|
|
- parmesan
|
|
- butter
|
|
- sage or oregano or thyme
|
|
|
|
## Directions
|
|
|
|
1. Boil potatoes (with their skins) until mashable.
|
|
2. Slice potatoes in two and scoop them out of their skin.
|
|
3. Mash with a potato-masher while adding kosher salt.
|
|
4. Slowly begin to add flour while mashing and kneading until there are no lumps of potato and the potato/flour mixture takes on a dough-like consistency.
|
|
5. Begin to boil more water with lots of kosher salt added.
|
|
6. Flour a work surface, pinch off some of the dough and roll it on the surface into a long chubby snake.
|
|
7. Slice the dough snake into small pieces. Press the pieces with your finger to make an indentation.
|
|
8. Add the pieces to the boiling water. They will rise to the top when they are ready.
|
|
9. In a pan, melt butter and add sprigs of sage (oregano or thyme will work as well, albeit are less traditional). Smashed tomato juices are also a nice addition.
|
|
10. Add the cooked gnocchi to the pan and roast them in butter for a minute or two until slightly browned. As pan begins to dry, add some pasta water.
|
|
12. Serve gnocchi on a plate, grate on Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese liberally. Add garnish if desired.
