  • About

‘The official translation of the word “gnocchi” in English should be “dumplings”. But, unlike their English counterparts, which are a suet-based accompaniment to stews, gnocchi are much lighter and are eaten as a first-course dish with various sauces, ranging from simple tomato to walnut or Gorgonzola.’

Ingredients

  • 900 g (2 lb) floury potatoes
  • 200 g (7

Method

Peel the potatoes and boil them in a little water in a closed saucepan until they are completely cooked. Drain away the remaining water very carefully, and thoroughly mash the potatoes while they are still warm - don’t leave any lumps. Then start to knead the mash on a floured work surface, adding flour from time to time, so that you obtain a soft but elastic dough. Add salt and pepper to taste
