Gnocchi

Indulge in the comforting embrace of homemade gnocchi, where fluffy potato dumplings meet a hint of nutmeg and a touch of egg. Ideal for a cozy weeknight dinner or a special gathering with loved ones.

• 1 kg potatoes
• 250 g all-purpose flour
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 pinch nutmeg

Method

1. 1

   Boil the potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, then drain and let them cool slightly.

2. 2

   Peel the potatoes while still warm and mash them until smooth.

3. 3

   On a clean surface, combine the mashed potatoes, flour, egg, salt, and nutmeg. Knead gently until a soft dough forms.

4. 4

   Divide the dough into smaller pieces and roll each piece into a long rope about 2 cm thick. Cut into 2 cm pieces.

5. 5

   Shape each piece by rolling it over the back of a fork to create ridges, which help sauce adhere.

6. 6

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes.

7. 7

   Remove with a slotted spoon and serve immediately with your choice of sauce.
