My nanna was from Italy, I loved it when she made gnocchi. It is a very time consuming process, but well worth the effort! The recipe can be varied with the addition of other ingredients (spinach, pumpkin, mushroom, herbs...) just let your imagination run wild! Serve with any sauce that tickles your fancy & lots of parmesan!!! Ingredients:
1 kg old potato, cooked & mashed |
2 cups all-purpose flour |
1 egg, beaten |
1 pinch nutmeg |
salt and pepper, to taste |
Directions:
1. Place mashed potatoes, flour, egg, nutmeg and salt& pepper in a bowl.
2. Knead lightly with your fingertips to make a firm but soft dough.
3. Divide dough into 4 even-sized pieces and then roll into long sausage shapes on a lightly floured surface.
4. Cut the rolls into small 1 inch pieces.
5. Press each piece over the back of a fork, pressing lightly with 2 fingers.
6. Bring a large pot of salted boiling water to simmering point.
7. Drop six to eight gnocchi in water and simmer for 3- 4 minutes, or until they rise to the surface.
8. Remove with a slotted spoon.
9. Serve with your favourite pasta sauce and parmesan cheese.
