Equipment

  • Oven
  • Skillet
  • Pot
  • Baking sheet
  • Gnocchi board or fork
  • Bench scraper (optional)

Ingredients

Sauce Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tomatoes roughly chopped
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • Gnocchi cooking liquid
  • 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary minced
  • Grated parmesan cheese as desired

Potato Ingredients:

  • 2 pounds russet potatoes
  • 1 egg whisked
  • 1 cup finely milled flour Tipo 00 preferred, or all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Roast potatoes until tender, about 1 hour and 30 minutes.
  • Let the potatoes cool, then peel and break them in half. Weigh the potatoes.
  • For every pound of cooked potatoes, use 1 cup of flour and one whisked egg. Rice the potatoes evenly on a work area.
  • Sprinkle salt, 3/4 of the flour, and the egg over the potatoes. Work the dough gently until formed into a ball.
  • Cut the dough into 4 pieces, roll into ropes, and cut into gnocchi shapes using a gnocchi board or fork. Transfer to a baking sheet.
  • Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the gnocchi until they float to the top, indicating they're done.
  • In a skillet, melt butter and add chopped tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add cooked gnocchi, gnocchi cooking liquid, and minced rosemary to the skillet. Saute for another 2-3 minutes.
  • Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over the dish, then serve.
