Basic Gnocchi Recipe
“My mother is from Ukraine and my father is Italian so obviously there had to be some sort of balance when it came to meals. My mother is an amazing cook so we grew up eating many wonderful foods from many different countries. She wasn’t afraid to tackle Baklava from Greece, Bavarian Apple Strudel, Mojkka (Fish soup) from Finland and more. Italian food was probably her easiest project. From Poticia to Polenta, both black (Buckwheat) topped with spaghetti sauce and yellow (corn meal) made with a cream sauce and patridge, we ate it all. Anyone can make spaghetti or rigatoni, but did you know homemade gnocchi is almost just as easy? Here is the recipe that my mom passed on to me from my Italian grandmother.
1 c. flour
1 c. leftover mashed potatoes
1 egg
1 tsp salt
Mix to form a dough and then roll into a rope about 3/4ths in diameter. Cut off in 1” segments. Put them on a cookie sheet and freeze them. When frozen you can put them in a Ziploc bag for storage or boil them up to eat. Drop them in boiling water for 2-4 minutes or until they float. Drain. Top with your favorite spaghetti sauce and add some freshly grated Parmesan or Romano cheese.If you prefer them fried in butter and topped with gravy, go for it. Some people also use them in soup. The uses for your homemade gnocchi are endless.”
