By  |  0 Comments

Don’t be scared by homemade gnocchi.
This is embarrassingly easy to cook.
In fact it is quicker than opening a packet of pasta with your teeth.
And about 100 times more delicioso.
(And takes less time to cook then reading this babble).

All you do is mix ricotta and the egg and flour.
Drop in boiling water.
Done.
(You can’t boil water? Bless. Don’t read any further)
You can make it with spinach (see recipe here ) or with tomato sauce below.

You need for 4 fashionista or 12 models:
500 g fresh ricotta
50g plain flour
2 eggs
1 large tablespoon olive oil
pinch salt and poivre

  • Slip into grey oversized Celine sweater dress.
  • Pull on Prada moon boots.
  • Pour a wine.
  • Make the tomato sauce first (see below).
  • Get ready to eat because this should be guzzled as soon as it’s cooked.
  • Whizz in a whizzer all the above ingredients or use a fork to mix in a bowl. It will take 2 seconds.
  • Boil water.
  • Take 1 teaspoon of Gnocchi straight from the bowl you have mixed it in and with another teaspoon scrape the mixture into the boiling water.
  • Repeat with all the mixture.
  • The gnocchi will float to the top when it’s cooked.
  • Ne paniquez pas, it will look terrible. Lumpy and white such as your good self.
  • Keep calm and pour another wine.
  • After about 5 mins all the gnocchi should have floated to the top.
  • Get a slotted spoon and just carefully skim the gnocchi out of boiling water onto a warm plate.
  • Drizzle with tomato sauce and snazzy designer olive oil.
  • Accessorise with lashings of parmesan.
  • Season with lots of sea salt and poivre.
  • Serve with crusty bread
  • Molto bene.

Tomato sauce:

  • Chop up 4 or more tomatoes.
  • Melt a few anchovies in the fry pan with some oil, add the tomatoes, some garlic, some dried chilies if you like.
  • Chuck in a hand full of herbs: basil, parsley, or chives, lemon thyme, whatever you have.
  • Cook on medium heat just till the tomato has warmed through, say about 2 minutes
  • Sprinkle over Gnocchi.
  • Bask in the glory of your adoring fans.
