Ingredients
For the Gnocchi
- 1 lb Potatoes russet or yukon gold, boiled and mashed
- 1 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Pepper black
- 1 large Egg lightly beaten
For the Chili Garlic Sauce
- 3 tbsp Butter
- 2 Cloves Garlic minced
- 1/2 tsp Pepper Flakes adjust to your spice preference, red
- 1/4 tsp Pepper black, freshly ground
- 1/2 tsp Salt or to taste
- 1/4 cup Heavy Cream or milk for a lighter sauce
- 4 oz Cherry Tomatoes halved
- 3-4 Basil Leaves fresh, roughly chopped
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil for boiling gnocchi
Instructions
Prepare the Gnocchi
- Combine mashed potatoes, flour, salt, pepper, and egg in a large bowl. Gently mix until a dough forms. Knead lightly until smooth.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch thick ropes. Cut into 1-inch pieces. Use a fork to create ridges (optional).
Cook the Gnocchi
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add olive oil.
- Gently drop the gnocchi into the boiling water. Cook until they float to the surface (about 2-3 minutes).
- Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Make the Sauce
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant (about 1 minute).
- Stir in red pepper flakes, black pepper, and salt. Cook for another 30 seconds.
- Add cherry tomatoes and cook until softened (about 2-3 minutes).
- Stir in heavy cream and basil. Simmer for 1 minute, until slightly thickened.
Combine and Serve
- Add the cooked gnocchi to the sauce. Toss gently to coat.
- Serve immediately.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Gnocchi
- For extra fluffy gnocchi, let the mashed potatoes cool completely before adding the flour.
- Don't overwork the gnocchi dough; overkneading will result in tough gnocchi.
- If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of pasta water to thin it out.
- Garnish with extra grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil before serving for an extra touch of flavor.
