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.
