Tender gnocchi with garlic cream sauce
Gnocchi is very similar in taste to pierogis but it is sooooo easy to make and can be a very elegant addition to a dish.
You can add it to soup as the starch, use it as a side with a nice sauce, or just have it as a snack on its own.
I opted to make it with the garlic cream sauce I've made before. If you sauté some onions and mushrooms and then begin the traditional sauce, you'll have a fantastic sauce for your gnocchi.
To make the gnocchi, begin by peeling and cutting two large white potatoes and boiling them.
Once they have boiled, remove them from the pot and place them on a cutting board.
While the potatoes cool, you can make your sauce.
Once the potatoes have cooled, take a fork and sort of mash them until there are no chunks left.
Crack one egg into a medium sized bowl and add the potato. Grab some flour and slowly add the flour, a tablespoon at a time, mixing everything together, until you have a dough-like consistency. You shouldn't have to use more than a cup of flour here.
Once you have your dough mixture, take a small amount and roll it into a long, 1 inch think tube. Cut 1 inch pieces out of the roll and flatten them with a fork.
Once this is done, throw all the pieces into a pot with water and bring to a boil. Cook until all the pieces are floating.
Now, I stopped here in terms of the cooking, but if you want them to be crispy, you can fry them in some butter or oil with spices.
Pour some sauce over top of your gnocchi and top with some fresh grated Parmesan cheese.
