Does anyone have any good recipes for cooking potato gnocchi?
I have never cooked gnocchi before, I was thinking of making a tomato sauce to pour over it but it sounds a bit boring.
Does anyone have any better ideas?
Thank you
Answers: I know they can sound boring but that's the way Italians cook them!! When I went to Milan I ate them in a restaurant and they just had tomato sauce and Parmesan cheese in powder. I would suggest you to make them a bit more tasteful by boiling the gnocchi and then in another pan pour a bit of olive oil, cut a little bit of garlic in tiny bits, fry the garlic in the pan till it is getting a bit brown, then add the gnocchi, the tomato sauce, oregano spice ( great for pasta) and then the Parmesan cheese...and ready to eat!!! simply lovely!! I hope you like it! Source(s):
I cook them like that. I'm no Italian, I'm Spanish but I know about Mediterranean cuisine. Ingredients
For the gnocchi:
1 potato, peeled and cubed
30g/1oz plain flour
salt and freshly ground black pepper
For the sauce:
150ml/? pint cream
? lemon, juice only
85g/3oz ricotta
30g/1oz fresh chervil, chopped
Method
1. Bring some water to the boil in two medium saucepans.
2. Preheat a small saucepan.
3. Place the potato in one of the saucepans. Boil until soft.
4. Drain the potato and mash by pushing it through a potato ricer.
5. Mix the resulting mash with the flour. Season then roll the mixture into the shape of a sausage.
6. Cut the potato sausage into 2.5cm/1in rounds.
7. Drop the rounds into the second pan of water. When the rounds rise to the surface, remove from the water and place in a serving bowl.
8. Heat the cream in the small saucepan.
9. Add the lemon juice. Turn up the heat to reduce and thicken the sauce.
10. Add the ricotta and chervil and heat through for 2 minutes.
11. Pour the sauce over the gnocchi and serve. boil it. top with speghetti sauce or better yet try garlic buttter with some minced onion mmmmmm......
