Homemade Herbed Gnocchi!!

Ingredients


  1. Potato - 2 Large (2 Cups, When Boiled and Grated)
  2. All Purpose Flour (Maida) - 1/2 Cup
  3. Parsley Flakes - 2 Tsp
  4. Italian Seasoning - 1 Tsp
  5. Egg (Optional)- 1 Medium Size 
  6. Yogurt (Use only when you do not eat egg) - 1 Tbsp
  7. Salt to Taste

Procedure

  • Boil the potato and remove skin and grate them with the help of a fine grater (you have to make sure there is no lumps at all)
  • Now take a big bowl and put the boiled and grated potato, Egg/yogurt, parsley flakes, Italian seasoning and salt to taste. Mix this very well
  • Once mixed, add in the all-purpose flour (maida) and knead the dough very well with the help of your hand. Knead it at lest for 5 minutes. You can brush your palm with flour while kneading to make the process faster and easier to handle

Cutting the Gnocchi

  • After Kneading the dough, wrap it in a plastic wrap and refrigerate it for an hour
  • Take the dough out of refrigerator and roll the dough into long thick rope 
  • Cut them into bite size pieces 
  • Take a fork and just roll each piece over the fork to give it a signature Gnocchi shape

Preparation

  • Boil Water in a pan and add in the freshly prepared gnocchi into it when the water start to boil
  • Cook it until all the gnocchi starts to float on the surface
  • Once done, drain them and then cook them in any kind of pasta sauce or in any form whatever way you may like it
  • I like to stir fry them with spring onion sometimes to have it as starter (it tastes delicious)
Happy Cooking My Dear Friends!!

PS: You can store gnocchi in a freezer for up to 3 months
