Gnocchi actually comes from the german word "knuckle" meaning small dumpling. I have tried this recipe adding simple change ups like grated parmasan, italian style bread crumbs and they are always delicious....
Ingredients
- 1 pound baking potatoes shopping list
- 1 cup unbleached white flour with 1/2 to 3/4 cup for flouring your board shopping list
- 3 large egg yolks shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon salt shopping list
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder shopping list
- Dash paprika shopping list
- Dash grated nutmeg shopping list
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley shopping list
- optional 1/2 cup freshly grated parmasan cheese shopping list
How to make it
- Peel the potatoes, cut in quarters, cover with cold water, bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and cook until tender. (For a different texture you can also bake your potatoes whole and cool and peel. You will require less flour to make the gnocchi.) Drain and mash. You should have about 2 cups.
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together the flour, garlic powder, salt, a few dashes of paprika and nutmeg, and the chopped parsley.
- Add the warm potatoes, eggs and turn out onto a floured surface. (if using cheese this is where you would add your cheese)Knead just until dough is well mixed and not sticky. Let rest for 15 minutes.
- Roll chunks of dough on floured board into logs about 1 inch thick. Cut into diagonal slices about 3/4 inch thick. Make sure you leave a small indent for the sauce to rest in.
- Bring a large pot of water to the boil. Add gnocchi. After they rise to the surface, lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes, uncovered.
- Drain well and cover with your favorite pasta sauce.
