Gnocchi Di Patate Recipes

GNOCCHI DI PATATE

Steps:

• Scrub potatoes and cook in a large saucepan of boiling water until tender (35-40 minutes). Drain in a colander and set aside to cool slightly and steam until cool enough to handle (5-10 minutes).
• Peel potatoes (discard skin).
• Press flesh through a potato ricer onto a work surface lightly dusted with flour.
• Add three-quarters of flour, a pinch of nutmeg and a large pinch of fine sea salt.
• Lightly knead until dough just comes together and is smooth (add a little more flour if necessary). Take care not to overwork the dough.
• Form a 3cm piece of dough into a gnoccho and cook in simmering salted water until gnoccho floats (1-2 minutes). Taste and ensure the mixture isn't too floury (cook 30 seconds longer if so). If gnoccho disintegrates, add more flour to mixture, but do not overwork.
• Divide dough into four and roll one piece at a time on a lightly floured surface to a 1½cm-thick cylinder. Cut into 2cm pieces.
• If making ridged gnocchi, shape with a fork. Place on a lightly floured tray and repeat with remaining dough. Cook gnocchi in batches in simmering water until they float (1-2 minutes). Drain, transfer to a warm serving dish, season to taste and serve hot with your choice of sauce.

GNOCCHI DI PATATE

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes with the skin in salted water.
• When they are cooked, let them cool, then peel them and smash them.
• Mix the smashed potatoes with the flour and the salt and continue to work the dough with hands.
• Spread some gf flour on a surface; take a piece of dough and make a ball out of it.
• Then give it the shape of a snake by rolling it on the surface.
• When the"snake" is ready (about 1 centimeter in diameter), cut it into many pieces about 3 centimeters long each.
• Do the same with the rest of the dough.
• The gnocchi cook very fast; 1 or 2 minutes in boiling salted water.
• They are ready when they float on the surface of the water.
• Take them out immediately and serve them with tomato sauce and parmesan.
• Note: You can make a lot of gnocchi and freeze them.
• You can also cook them in water while they are frozen, just remember to separate them from each other before you throw them into the water.
