👨🍳 Istruzioni
- 1
Boil the peeled and cubed potatoes in a large pot of salted water until tender. Drain and pass through a potato ricer or masher.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Ensure potatoes are well-drained to avoid excess moisture in the dough. - 2
Let the riced potatoes cool slightly, then add the flour, beaten egg, and salt. Knead gently to form a smooth dough.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Avoid overworking the dough, which can make the gnocchi tough. - 3
Divide the dough into portions, roll each into a long rope about 2cm thick, and cut into 2cm pieces. Press each piece lightly with a fork to create ridges.
💡 Consigli Professionali: The ridges help the sauce adhere to the gnocchi. - 4
Boil the gnocchi in batches of lightly salted water until they float to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- 5
For the sauce, heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion and garlic until softened.
- 6
Add the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, sugar, salt, and pepper. Stir well and simmer for about 15 minutes.

Add the cooked gnocchi to the tomato sauce and stir gently to coat. Stir in the chopped fresh basil.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Toss gently to avoid breaking the gnocchi. - 8
Serve immediately, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese.
💡 Consigli Professionali
- ✓Use starchy potatoes like Russets for the best gnocchi texture.
- ✓Don't add too much flour, as it can make the gnocchi dense.
- ✓The fork ridges are optional but add a nice texture and help hold the sauce.
