Description
A comforting dish of homemade gnocchi tossed in a rich tomato sauce, perfect for family gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large Yukon Gold potatoes
- 1 to 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 egg
- 2 cups tomato sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender, then peel and let cool.
- Mash the cooled potatoes until smooth, then gradually add flour and the egg, kneading until a soft dough forms.
- Divide the dough into smaller sections, roll each into ropes, and cut into bite-sized pieces.
- Boil the gnocchi in salted water until they float, then drain.
- In a skillet, heat olive oil, sauté garlic until fragrant, then add tomato sauce and simmer.
- Add the cooked gnocchi to the sauce and toss gently to combine.
- Serve garnished with chopped herbs and a drizzle of olive oil.
Notes
Avoid adding too much flour to keep the gnocchi light. Sautéing the gnocchi in a skillet after mixing with sauce creates a delicious crispy texture.
