Let’s make a classic Italian recipe!
— Homemade Gnocchi
The perfect, cute little gnocchi you can use for tons of different delicious recipes!
Ingredients:
- 500 gr of russet potatoes
- 300 gr of all purpose flour (we use flour zero zero from Italy)
- 1 egg
- Pinch of Salt
- Gnocchi board (or a fork if you don’t have one)
Recipe:
1. Start with your potatoes pre boiled in salt water.
2. Pour some of the flour onto a flat hard surface (I use my large wooden cutting board) and scrunch your potatoes into it.
3. Mix the potatoes in with the flour and make a small volcano shape with the mixture.
4. Crack your egg into the center of you volcano and add a pinch of salt.
5. Mix it all together. I like to use a fork to mix the egg and then I continue kneading with my hands to get a good gnocchi dough consistency. (Add more flour if needed to make your gnocchi dough the perfect consistency.)
Don’t over knead the gnocchi dough, you want it to be dry but not too dry and soft but not sticky
6. Flour your pasta board and cut the dough into 3 quarters of an inch strips. Then roll them so they are smooth and round.
7. Cut the rolled dough into one inch pieces (little pillows of love).
8. Mix them in with the flour on the pasta board so they aren’t sticky.
9. When you’ve done this with all of the dough, roll the gnocchi with a gnocchi board or even a fork. (This shape helps the gnocchi hold the sauce better.)
10. Sprinkle some flour in a tray and put all the gnocchi in it. (Make sure they have enough flour covering them so they don’t stick to each other.
Final tip: have someone gorgeous nearby. It makes it taste better 😂
