Gnocchi
Ingredients
  • 1 heirloom tomato
  • 1 teaspoon garlic
  • 1 ounce extra virgin olive oil
  • 5 basil leaves
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 8 ounce russet potatoes
  • 1 ounce parmesan cheese
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2.7 ounce all purpose flour
  • 1 dash of salt
  • 10 cup water
Directions
  1. Cut up the heirloom tomatoes into cubes. The juice of the tomato is very important to this recipe so make sure to use a ripe tomato. Add the minced garlic. Rough chop the basil leaves and add them to the rest of the ingredients. Add the evoo and mix everything together. Don't add the salt yet. You'll add a dash right before you combine the sauce with the cooked pasta. Now, let the sauce sit and move on to the pasta.
  2. First, boil the potatoes and then bring them to room temp. Add all ingredients together and knead the dough by hand. One your dough ball is formed you can break off and shape into smaller balls. Take each ball and roll it out making a long rope. Then using a butter knife cut pieces of the rope into 1/2 inch sections. Grab a fork and roll the little sections over the fork tongs to create the ridges.
  3. Time to get the water boiling so we can cook the pasta. It's an absolute must when cooking Italian to season the water with salt. The salt flavors the pasta. Without salt the pasta has no flavor. When the water has come to a boil add the pasta. Make sure to stir so the pasta doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan and when the pasta floats to the top give it a few more minutes and then remove from the water. Add the dash of salt now to your sauce and then add the cooked pasta to the sauce and combine. That's it. Fresh pasta in less than 30 minutes. Enjoy!
