Ingredients

  • 500 g potatoes (about 2 large potatoes)
  • 200 g all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 240 g tomato sauce
  • 25 g grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh basil leaves, torn
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Boil the potatoes in a large pot of salted water until tender. Drain and let them cool slightly.
  2. Peel the potatoes and mash them using a potato ricer or a fork. Make sure there are no lumps.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, flour, and salt. Mix until the dough comes together. Avoid overmixing, as it can make the gnocchi dense.
  4. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and divide it into smaller portions. Roll each portion into a long rope, about 1.5 cm in diameter.
  5. Cut the ropes into small pieces, about 2 cm long. You can leave them as is or use the back of a fork to create ridges on each piece.
  6. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook them until they float to the surface, which usually takes 2-3 minutes.
  7. While the gnocchis are cooking, heat the tomato sauce in a separate saucepan over medium heat until warmed through.
  8. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked gnocchi to serving bowls. Pour the tomato sauce over the gnocchi, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  9. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the gnocchi and sauce. Add torn fresh basil leaves for garnish.
  10. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
