Gnocchi

Gnocchi (pronounced "niyokki") is an Italian dish made with potatoes, flour and eggs. Instead of flour, it can be made with fine semolina, rice flour or bread that has been dried and turned into flour.

If you don't add nutmeg or parmesan, it gets a little tasteless. That's why you need to prepare a dense sauce and flavor it.

Parmesan, fresh cheddar cheese or gruyere cheese with its intense flavor add an extra flavor and pleasure to this dish.

I use 1 teaspoon of oil while preparing the sauce, but I flavor the tomato sauce with intense flavors such as onion, sage and garlic.

The recipe I gave makes gnocchi for 5-6 people. If it is too much for you, you can flour it and cover it with cling film and store it in the freezer for a long time.

In the coming days, following my wife's request, I will cook it in chicken broth and prepare a buttery sauce.

I used baby skewers left 1 day before for the tomato and chicken sauce. But you can only use tomato sauce, pesto sauce or even cream.

It is ideal for those who want to consume potato stocks at home and try a different recipe from the world cuisine. Love…

3. Cut off egg-sized pieces from the dough you have kneaded and make rolls with a thickness of about 2-2,5 cm. Put these rolls on a tray that will fit in the refrigerator and cover them with cling film and let them rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
