איך להכין ניוקי בדרך האיטלקית - מלכת הפסטה

על המתכון

מצרכים

• 500 gr of russet potatoes
• 300 gr of all purpose flour (we use flour zero zero from Italy)
• 1 egg
• Pinch of Salt
• Gnocchi board (or a fork if you don’t have one)
• Recipe:
• 1. Start with your potatoes pre boiled in salt water.
• 2. Pour some of the flour onto a flat hard surface (I use my large wooden cutting board) and scrunch your potatoes into it.
• 3. Mix the potatoes in with the flour and make a small volcano shape with the mixture.
• 4. Crack your egg into the center of you volcano and add a pinch of salt.
• 5. Mix it all together. I like to use a fork to mix the egg and then I continue kneading with my hands to get a good gnocchi dough consistency. (Add more flour if needed to make your gnocchi dough the perfect consistency.)
• Don’t over knead the gnocchi dough, you want it to be dry but not too dry and soft but not sticky
• 6. Flour your pasta board and cut the dough into 3 quarters of an inch strips. Then roll them so they are smooth and round.
• 7. Cut the rolled dough into one inch pieces (little pillows of love).
• 8. Mix them in with the flour on the pasta board so they aren’t sticky.
• 9. When you’ve done this with all of the dough, roll the gnocchi with a gnocchi board or even a fork. (This shape helps the gnocchi hold the sauce better.)
• 10. Sprinkle some flour in a tray and put all the gnocchi in it. (Make
