Homemade Gnocchi with Vodka Sauce
Ingredients
Russet potatoes (6)
Flour (all-purpose) (2 ½ cups)
Salt (1 tsp.)
Nutmeg (½ tsp.)
Parmesan cheese (¾ cups)
Eggs (3 – 4)
Garlic cloves
Fresh ground black pepper
Vito & Joe’s Extra Virgin Olive Oil
How to Prepare
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Bake the potatoes in the oven for 40 – 60 minutes,
Remove from the oven and peel the potatoes while they are still hot.
Rice the potatoes using potato ricer.
Place the riced potatoes in a pile to start forming the dough.
Sprinkle salt all over the potatoes.
Sprinkle nutmeg and Parmesan cheese,
Add eggs.
Using a pastry knife, mix all the ingredients together.
Add 2 tablespoons of Vito & Joe’s Extra Virgin Olive Oil and fresh ground black pepper to taste. Mix with a pastry knife.
Slowly mix in the flour with the pastry knife until the desired dough consistency is reached.
Lightly flour a surface and roll a small piece of dough out until ½ inch thick.
Cut into small pieces and roll the pieces down a gnocchi board or the back of a fork to achieve ridges.
Gently place the gnocchi in boiling water until they begin to float (approximately 2 - 3 minutes).
Remove from the water and serve with your favorite sauce. Enjoy!
