Gnocchi means "lumps" in Italian and by looking at the above picture I think that the description is quite accurate. This delicious dish is made with potato, eggs, flour, salt, pepper and parmigiano cheese and can be topped with your favourite sauce. Today I decided to keep it simple, and paired it with a sweet tomato basil sauce. I dedicate this classic dish to my Mother because I know it is her favourite.
Ingredients
Serves 6
4 large potatoes
4 cups of flour
4 eggs
1/2 cup parmigiano
salt and white pepper
Peel and slice potatoes and boil until soft.
Drain potatoes and squeeze through a ricer into a large bowl.
Add all other ingredients and mix with your hands until formed into a dough ball.
Flour a cutting board and place dough onto it.
Cut dough into 6 equal size lumps.
Buon Appetito!
what is a ricer?
ReplyDeleteIt is a kitchen tool that you press the hot potato through and it looks like rice when it comes through. It is a great kitchen tool!
