Best 2 Gnocchi Pomodoro Recipes

GNOCCHI POMODORO

Steps:

• To make the Sauce: Take the tomatoes out of the can, cut in half, and remove the seeds. Chop the tomatoes into small pieces and reserve the juice. In a saucepan, add olive oil and garlic and saute for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, salt, pepper and chili and bring to a simmer for 5 minutes. If necessary, add the reserved juice. Add the basil. Finish with cream.
• To make the gnocchi: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Bake the potatoes for approximately 1 to 1 1/2 hours, until tender. Scoop each potato out of its skin into mixing bowl. Mash the potatoes to a fine consistency.
• In a separate bowl, combine egg yolks, melted butter, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Add the egg mixture to the potatoes and mix together. Add flour to mixture, 1 cup at a time, and mix until smooth.
• Scoop out and make finger sized rolls on floured board. Cut with knife into bite sized pieces. Roll each piece over the back of a fork to make a round form. In a pan, freeze until hard enough to handle, and put into portion sized bags.
• Fill a large pot with water and add a pinch of salt and boil. Drop gnocchi into boiling water 3 or 4 at a time so the water doesn't stop boiling. The gnocchi is ready when it floats to the top. Drain gnocchi and scoop out into bowl and add sauce. Add fresh Parmesan and serve.

GNOCCHI CON SALSICCE, RUCOLA E POMODORO SECC

Steps:

• Heat the 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, onion and sausage, seasoning the meat with salt and pepper as desired. As you saute, break the sausage into small bite size pieces with your spoon.
• In the meantime, boil water in a pot to cook the gnocchi according to package instructions (probably 2-3 minutes or until the pasta floats). Remove from the heat.
• In a blender, blend together the basil (leaves only), 1/2 cup of water from the gnocchi pot, 1/2 cup olive oil and half and half.
• Drain the gnocchi.
• When the sausage is fully cooked, add the drained gnocchi and blender sauce to the skillet as well as the arugula and sundried tomatoes. Reduce heat to low and stir until the arugula wilts. Remove from heat and serve.
