Gnocchi al Ragù di Pomodoro - Italian Recipe

Gnocchi al Ragù di Pomodoro

🌍 Italian, National Difficulty: ●●●○○

Gnocchi demand floury potatoes and a light hand. Overworking the dough produces dense rubber pellets. Use just enough flour to hold each piece together, and boil in small batches — crowding the pot drops the temperature and makes them gluey.

Ingredients

• 1kg potatoes, floury
• 200g flour
• 1 egg
• Salt, nutmeg
• 400g simple tomato sauce

Method

1. Boiling — Boil potatoes; rice while hot.
2. Mixing — Mix with flour, egg, salt, nutmeg.
3. Rolling — Roll into logs; cut into 2cm pieces. Roll over fork tines.
4. Cooking — Cook in boiling salted water until they float.
5. Tossing — Toss with sauce; serve with Parmesan.
