A classic of the italian domestic cuisine that one couldn’t miss in a collection of italian recipes!
Time of cooking
about 30 minutes
Servings
4
Ingredients
00 Flour: 0,2 kg
Potatoes: 1 kg
Salt/pepper as required
Minced cheese: 25 gr
(If necessary, 1 egg)
What did I use
a pot for the potatoes and one for the gnocchi, a masher, a knife, a perfored ladle to pick up the gnocchi when they’re ready
How did I do
I boiled the potatoes with the peel, I peeled them and mashed them.
I added salt and pepper, cheese and flour. If the dough is not enough consistent, I add the egg. As it concernes me, I prefer to avoid it to make them lighter but sometimes the dough results too soft: it depends on the potatoes.
I formed some cylinders with the dough large and tall about 2 centimeters and I cut them in little cubes, then I pressed the gnocchi one by one on a fork. (Not being smooth they capture better the sauce!) I cooked them in boiling water at medium fire.
At this point I add the sauce I prefer (ragù, melted butter, tomato sauce…) and serve!
Buon appetito!
