GNOCCHI WITH BROWN BUTTER AND SAGE



Gnocchi With Brown Butter and Sage image

Provided by Marc Forgione

Time 1h50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Kosher salt
3 large russet potatoes (1 1/2 to 1 3/4 pounds)
1 to 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 large egg
6 tablespoons salted butter
1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
4 sage leaves, thinly sliced
1/2 cup shaved and/or coarsely grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Pour a mound of kosher salt onto a rimmed baking sheet. Prick the potatoes all over with a fork and nestle them in the salt; this prevents the potatoes from browning and draws out their moisture. Bake the potatoes until fork-tender, about 45 minutes. Let sit until just cool enough to handle.
  • Halve the potatoes lengthwise and scoop the flesh into a potato ricer; discard the skin. Press the flesh through the ricer onto a floured counter or cutting board; let cool 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Spread out the potatoes slightly. Beat the egg with 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl and drizzle over the potatoes.
  • Sprinkle the potato mixture with 1 cup flour and knead until a smooth dough forms, adding up to 1/2 cup more flour if the dough is sticky. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rest 10 minutes.
  • Lightly flour your surface. Divide the dough into 6 pieces and roll into "snakes," about 1/2 inch in diameter. Cut into 1/2-to-1-inch lengths with a bench cutter or knife; transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet and lightly dust with flour.
  • Make the sauce: Melt the butter in a large skillet over high heat. Cook, stirring, until the butter develops brown flecks and smells nutty. Watch it closely to keep the butter solids from burning. Remove from the heat.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi; wait until they float to the surface, then simmer 30 more seconds. (Taste one to make sure it's cooked through.) Return the brown butter to medium-low heat. Scoop the gnocchi from the pot with a spider or slotted spoon, transfer to the skillet and toss until some of the brown-butter flecks stick to the gnocchi. Add the red pepper flakes, sage and a few tablespoons of the gnocchi cooking water; toss again. Remove from the heat and add half of the cheese. Divide among bowls and top with the remaining cheese.

RICOTTA GNOCCHI



Ricotta Gnocchi image

This recipe was passed down to me from my great aunt, it is easy, authentic and delicious! The secret to making these gnocchi is to dry the ingredients as much as you can before using. Let the ricotta drain of excess water by placing it in a strainer over a bowl and leaving it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before using.

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 (15.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 dash crushed red pepper flakes
6 basil leaves, finely shredded
Salt and pepper to taste
8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into small chunks

Steps:

  • Stir together the ricotta cheese, eggs, Parmesan Cheese, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a large bowl until evenly combined. Mix in 1 cup of flour. Add additional flour if needed to form a soft dough.

RICOTTA GNOCCHI WITH CHANTERELLES, SWEET CORN, AND SAGE BROWN BUTTER



Ricotta Gnocchi with Chanterelles, Sweet Corn, and Sage Brown Butter image

Categories     Sauce     Side     Dinner     Ricotta     Corn     Healthy     Kosher     Sage     Boil     Butter

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 1/2 cups fresh breadcrumbs
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
7 tablespoons unsalted butter
3/4 pound chanterelles, cleaned
1 tablespoon thyme leaves
1 tablespoon sliced sage leaves
3 cups fresh corn kernels (from about 4 ears)
2/3 cup diced shallots
1 recipe ricotta gnocchi, blanched (recipe follows)
1/2 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Ricotta gnocchi
2 extra-large eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for rolling
1 pound whole milk ricotta, drained if wet
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • Toss the breadcrumbs with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Spread them on a baking sheet, and toast 8 to 10 minutes, stirring once or twice, until golden brown.
  • If the mushrooms are big, tear them into bite-size pieces.
  • Heat a large sauté pan over high heat for 2 minutes. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, and heat another minute. Swirl in 1 tablespoon butter, and when it foams, add the mushrooms, half the thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and a healthy pinch of pepper. Sauté the mushrooms about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they're tender and a little crispy. Don't be tempted to move them around in the pan too much in the beginning: let them sear a little before stirring. Transfer the cooked mushrooms to a platter.
  • Return the pan to the stove, and heat on high for 1 minute. Add the remaining 6 tablespoons butter to the pan, and cook a minute or two, until the butter starts to brown. Add the sage, let it sizzle, and then add the corn, shallots, remaining 1/2 tablespoon thyme, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and some freshly ground black pepper. Sauté quickly, tossing the corn in the hot butter for about 2 minutes, until the corn is just tender. Add the gnocchi and toss well to coat with the corn and brown butter. Season with 1 teaspoon salt, and add the mushrooms. Toss to combine, and heat the mushrooms through. Add the parsley. Arrange the gnocchi on a large platter, and shower the breadcrumbs over the top.
  • Ricotta gnocchi
  • Beat the eggs together in a small bowl.
  • Place 2 cups flour, 1 3/4 teaspoons salt, 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, and the ricotta in a large mixing bowl. With a dinner knife in each hand, cut the ricotta into the flour. When he flour and ricotta are combined, make a well in the center and pour in the eggs. Use a fork and, starting in the middle of the mixture, incorporate the eggs into the flour and ricotta. Knead the dough with your hands briefly, just to bring it together while being careful not to overwork it. Shape the dough into a ball, and place it on a lightly floured cutting board. Cut the ball into four pieces, and cover with a clean kitchen towel.
  • Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil.
  • One by one, take each piece of dough out from underneath the towel, cut it in half, and roll it into a 3/4-inch-thick rope on a lightly floured cutting board. The amount of flour on the board is very important: if you have too much the dough is difficult to roll, and if you don't use enough, the dough will stick to the board. Cut the ropes into 1-inch-long pieces, and sprinkle a little flour over them. Using your thumb, roll each piece of dough over the back of the tines of a fork, leaving an indentation from your thumb on one side and the markings from the fork on the other.
  • Plunge the gnocchi into the boiling water in batches. Once they rise to the surface, cook them for 1 minute more. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a baking sheet or platter. Drizzle the cooked gnocchi with the olive oil, and toss to coat them well.
  • note
  • You can make and blanch the gnocchi ahead of time.

RICOTTA CHEESE GNOCCHI



Ricotta Cheese Gnocchi image

You think you know what gnocchi are: small, fork-tine-indented potato dumplings served with pesto or tomato sauce. They're starchy, thick and filling, and rarely made well enough at home to justify the work. But gnocchi don't have to be only that. "Gnocco" translates literally as "lump" (nice, huh?) and is a colloquial word for dumpling; gnocchi can be made out of semolina, cornmeal, spinach, even bread crumbs. One of my favorites: ricotta gnocchi, which is just as authentic as its potato relative, but lighter in texture and much easier to make.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     dinner, project, appetizer

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Salt
One 15-ounce container ricotta cheese, preferably whole milk
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/4 cups freshly grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
Freshly ground black pepper
3/4 to 1 cup flour
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
10 or more sage leaves

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it. Combine the ricotta, eggs and Parmesan in a large bowl, along with some salt and pepper. Add about 1/2 cup flour and stir; add more flour until the mixture forms a very sticky dough. Scoop up a spoonful of dough and boil it to make sure it will hold its shape; if it does not, stir in a bit more flour.
  • Put the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. When it melts and turns a nutty brown color, add the sage. While it fries, drop the ricotta mixture by the rounded tablespoon into the boiling water, working in batches of six or so at a time so as not to overload the pot.
  • When the gnocchi rise to the surface, remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to the skillet. When all the gnocchi are done, toss, taste and adjust the seasoning, and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ricotta cheese. Fresh ricotta cheese has a light, airy texture that makes for tender gnocchi. If you can't find fresh ricotta, you can use whole milk ricotta, but be sure to drain it well before using.
  • Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make the gnocchi tough. Mix the ingredients just until they come together, then stop.
  • Use a light touch when shaping the gnocchi. Don't press the dough too hard, or the gnocchi will be dense. Simply roll the dough into small balls and then use a fork to create ridges.
  • Cook the gnocchi in salted water. This will help to flavor the gnocchi and prevent them from sticking together.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the gnocchi. If you overcrowd the pan, the gnocchi will not cook evenly. Cook the gnocchi in batches if necessary.
  • Serve the gnocchi immediately with your favorite sauce. Ricotta gnocchi is best served fresh, so don't let it sit around for too long before serving.

Conclusion:

Ricotta gnocchi is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of sauces. It's a great way to use up leftover ricotta cheese, and it's also a fun and easy dish to make at home. So next time you're looking for a new pasta dish to try, give ricotta gnocchi a try. You won't be disappointed!
