POTATO-RICOTTA GNOCCHI

Homemade gnocchi that is soft and will melt in your mouth. I usually use a blush sauce to finish off this dish.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    4 - 6 depending on portion

Ingredients

  • two small potatoes, boiled, drained and put through a ricer
  • 1 tbsp. Bertolli olive oil
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 1/2 cup finely grated paremsan cheese
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 4 to 4 1.2 cups flour
  • water (as needed)

Preparation

  1. On a marble or wooden surface place flour in a well. Add all other ingredients to the mixture. Using clean hands, kneed all together until dough sticks together but is not sticky. Pull off a ball that just fits into the palm of your hand and roll out into snake-like strips. Cut into one inch pieces and use shrimp fork to indent each gnocchi to seal so that sauce sticks and stays on gnocchi

Sofrito Bolognese
An ex-boyfriend’s mom—who emigrated from Colombia—made the best meat sauce—she would fry sofrito for the base and simply add cooked ground beef, sazón, and jarred tomato sauce. My version is a bit more bougie—it calls for caramelized tomato paste and white wine—but the result is just as good.
Île Flottante
Originally called omelette à la neige (snow omelet) in reference to the fluffy snow-like appearance of the meringue, île flottante (floating island) has a lengthy history that dates back to the 17th century.

Fufu is a dish that has been passed down through many generations and is seen as a symbol of Ghanaian identity and heritage. Making fufu traditionally is a very laborious task; this recipe mimics some of that hard work but with a few home-cook hacks that make for a far easier time.

Smothered Italian Sausage
This is what I call a fridge-eater recipe. The key here is getting a nice sear on the sausage and cooking the tomato down until it coats the sausage and vegetables well.

A light, frothy Italian dessert made from egg yolks, sugar, and Prosecco, this easy zabaglione recipe is perfect served warm with fruit and biscotti.
Vodka Gochujang Pasta
This pasta has some really big energy about it. It’s so extra, it’s the type of thing you should be eating in your bikini while drinking a magnum of rosé, not in Hebden Bridge (or wherever you live), but on a beach on Mykonos.
