- description: These are NOT, traditional, genuine, Italian grandmother, perfect gnocchi. I get it. These little potato dumplings are very good with many different kinds of sauces. This method is quick and easy enough to prepare for a "regular" weekday dinner. Although I say to take them out as soon as they float, I prefer them when they are allowed to cook in the boiling water for 1-2 minutes after they float to the surface. Recipe and technique from the book "The Taste of Italy" by Frederic Lebain and Jean Paul Paireault (1989) I found this book for $1 at my local thrift store! 1 lb potatoes steamed in their jackets (I cooked mine in the microwave and it only takes about 10 minutes) 1 cup all purpose flour (regular flour) 1 egg yolk 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese Salt and pepper Peel the cooked potatoes and push them through a fine sieve Beat the flour and egg yolk into the potato and stir in 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste. I used an electric mixer for this part and it worked very well. *Place the gnocchi dough into a pastry bag with a wide plain tube* As I mention in the video, I tried this and no amount of squeezing could get the dough out easily, I suggest a cookie press or cookie gun. Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil and squeeze out segments of dough, detaching the dough from the tube with a sharp knife in a downward motion dropping the dough into the boiling water. Remove gnocchi as they rise to the surface and drain them on a tea towel. I placed my gnocchi in a greased baking dish, poured some pasta sauce over top and sprinkled on some Parmesan and some mozzarella. I baked this about 25 minutes at 350F until the cheese was browned and bubbly.
