Gnocci
Ready In: 2 hrs 30 mins
Serves: 4-6
Ingredients
- 2 large baking potatoes
- 1 cup unbleached flour
- 2 tablespoons dried basil
- 2 tablespoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 14 ounces tomato sauce
Directions
- 1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Scrub the potatoes and poke all over with a fork. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 1 hour. Remove the potatoes and peel the skin off. Mash the potatoes in a bowl until there are as few lumps as possible.
- 2. In another bowl, add the flour and seasonings, mix, and make a well in the center. Add the potatoes and slowly mix together to form a smooth dough. Add more flour if needed.
- 3. Dust a work surface with more flour, take sections of the dough, and roll out into a ½ inch thick rope. Cut the rope into ¾ inch long pieces. Take each piece and pinch the ends to form an oval ball, and roll with the tines of a fork to get a striped design on one side.
- 4. In batches, drop the gnocchi into heavily salted boiling water and scoop out with a slotted spoon after they rise to the surface. Keep warm in a bowl in the oven.
- 5. Meanwhile, heat the tomato sauce.
- 6. Pour the sauce over the gnocchi, toss and serve.
