How To Make Gnocchi In 10 Easy Steps

Gnocchi (nyoh-kee) is a potato dumpling. Some people get intimidated when attempting a traditional Italian dish, but this dish is very easy to prepare and is one of my favorites!

 

 

Step 1: Boil potatoes until fork tender.

Step 2: Wait until cool enough to touch then peel the skin off of each potato.

Step 3: Mash potatoes with potato masher, by hand or a hand mixer.

Step 4: Add salt, nutmeg, parmesan, egg and 1 cup of all purpose four.

Step 5: Knead the dough with your hands, adding whole wheat flour 1 tablespoon at a time.

Step 6: Knead the dough until smooth; the dough will be slightly sticky. Divide the dough into 6 pieces.

Step 7: On a lightly floured surface, using the palms of your hands, roll the 6 pieces out into a rope shape, keeping them at least one inch thick.

Step 8: Cut the ropes into ½ to 1 inch long pieces.

Step 9: Place gnocchi in boiling water and cook until tender. Be sure to stir around a little, to ensure no sticking. The gnocchi will rise to the top when it is ready.

Step 10: Heat large sauté pan with olive oil. Once the pan is hot, sauté the gnocchi until heated through and the gnocchi turns a light brown color. Plate and serve with vegetables and your favorite sauce like our H3 Marinara.
