Parmesan & Herb Gnocchi is a delightful Italian dish that combines the rich flavors of parmesan cheese with fresh herbs to create a savory and comforting meal. This recipe is easy to follow, making it perfect for both weeknight dinners and special occasions.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash and peel the potatoes.
- Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water.
- Add a pinch of salt to the water.
- Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat and cook the potatoes until they are tender, about 15-20 minutes. You should be able to easily pierce them with a fork.
- Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly until they are easy to handle.
- Use a potato masher or ricer to mash the potatoes until smooth. Avoid leaving any lumps as it will affect the texture of the gnocchi.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes with the grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, chopped chives, and 1 tsp of salt.
- Mix until all ingredients are well combined. If the mixture feels too sticky, you may dust it lightly with flour to make it more manageable.
- Divide the dough into several smaller portions for easier handling.
- On a floured surface, roll each portion into a long rope, about 1/2 inch in diameter.
- Cut the rope into 1-inch pieces to form individual gnocchi.
- If desired, roll each piece over the tines of a fork or a gnocchi board to create ridges, which helps the gnocchi hold onto sauces better.
- Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil.
- Carefully drop the gnocchi into the boiling water in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pot.
- The gnocchi are done when they float to the surface, which usually takes about 2-3 minutes.
- Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked gnocchi to a plate or serving dish, and keep warm while you cook the remaining batches.
- The gnocchi can be served immediately with your favorite sauce, such as marinara, alfredo, or browned butter with sage.
- Garnish with additional grated Parmesan and a sprinkle of fresh herbs if desired.
Tips:
- Make sure to use starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold for a fluffier gnocchi.
- Avoid over-kneading the dough to prevent the gnocchi from becoming too dense.
- Dust your working surface with flour to prevent the dough from sticking.
- Test one piece of gnocchi in boiling water to ensure it holds its shape before cooking the entire batch.
- Serve immediately with your favorite sauce or a simple drizzle of olive oil and additional parmesan.
Parmesan & Herb Gnocchi is a rich and flavorful dish that is sure to impress your family and friends. With its delicate texture and combination of savory parmesan and fresh herbs, it’s a recipe you’ll find yourself returning to time and time again.
