Easy Potato Gnocchi

Fresh homemade potato gnocchi with tomatoes and herbs on a wooden surface.

 

I got this idea from ‘My Kitchen Rules’ one night and the smiley boys made mixed mushroom gnocchi – and I haven’t been able to get it out of my head ever since.   Homemade gnocchi is surprisingly easy if you have a bit of time on your hands – and it tastes so delicious – serve with a burnt butter sauce or a simple Bolognaise.  Delish!

  • Knead lightly to form a firm dough.

  • Cut approximately 2cm pieces of the sausage and set the dough aside.
  • To cook, heat a large pot of salted water until boiling.
  • Drop the gnocchi into the boiling water (in batches so you don’t crowd the pot) and cook for 3 – 4 minutes or until the gnocchi floats to the top.

    This is the same as I make all the time but have found that if I plunge the pasta into ice cold water it holds its shape a lot better then add it to sauce and it doesnt brake up
