Introduction
Gnocchi, those delightful little potato dumplings, are a beloved Italian comfort food that never fails to bring a smile to your face. In this recipe, we'll show you how to make Nonna's famous pillow-soft gnocchi that will melt in your mouth. And the best part? They're gluten-free!
Ingredients
- 2 pounds of russet potatoes
- 1 1/2 cups of gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of pepper
- 1 egg, beaten
- Optional: grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
-
Start by baking the potatoes in the oven until they're fork-tender. This will take about an hour at 400°F.
-
Once the potatoes are cooked, peel off the skins and mash them in a large bowl until they're smooth.
-
Add the salt, pepper, and beaten egg to the mashed potatoes and mix well. Then gradually stir in the gluten-free flour until a dough forms.
-
On a floured surface, roll out the dough into long ropes, about 1 inch thick. Cut the ropes into small pillow-shaped gnocchi pieces.
-
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the gnocchi in batches. Cook until they float to the surface, then remove them with a slotted spoon.
-
If desired, sprinkle the cooked gnocchi with grated Parmesan cheese and serve with your favorite sauce.
-
Enjoy your pillow-soft gluten-free gnocchi!
