Gnocchi Recipe
These delicious Italian potato dumplings can be served with any sauce or flavouring. Although they take some time to prepare, the results will be worthwhile.
Recipe Ingredients
-
5 medium FRESHLINE potatoes (+-1 kg)
-
180 g SPAR cake flour (375 ml)
-
5 ml salt
-
1 large SPAR egg
Recipe Method
-
Boil potatoes in their jackets, until an inserted knife comes out cleanly with just a little resistance.
-
Remove peels and mash the potato thoroughly using a SPAR Good Living premium potato masher.
-
Mix in the flour, salt and egg to a manageable but soft dough, adding more flour only if necessary. Do not over mix!
-
Working on a well-floured work top, roll the dough into many 2cm thick sausages, and then cut off 3cm pieces.
-
Mark each piece with the tines of a fork, flattening slightly.
-
Set aside on a floured tray until all the dough is used.
-
Drop about 10 at a time into salted boiling water, and when they rise to the top, after about 2-3 minutes, remove with a slotted spoon onto warmed dishes. Continue with more.
-
When cooking is complete, drizzle over melted SPAR butter, scatter over sage leaves and grated Parmesan.
-
Serve immediately.
Hints & Tips
-
Do not refrigerate the uncooked gnocchi, as they will soften and be difficult to uplift and cook. Rather prepare just before you need to cook them.
-
Do not mix the potato in a food processor or you will end up with glue!
-
A tomato-based pasta sauce can be substituted for the butter and sage.
