Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Gather the ingredients.

  2. Place potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with 2 inches of salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat to medium-high and simmer, undisturbed, until tender but still firm, 25 to 30 minutes. Drain potatoes and place back in the pot to dry and cool slightly, 5 to 10 minutes.

  3. As soon as potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel potatoes by rubbing skins off with your hands. Pass peeled potatoes through a potato ricer into a large bowl (alternatively, mash until very smooth.) Let cool slightly, about 10 minutes.

  4. Fold in flour, egg, and salt until flour is incorporated and  dough starts to hold together. Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and gently knead once or twice until mostly smooth (do not overwork).

  5. Divide dough into 4 even portions. Roll and shape each portions of the dough into long "snakes," about ¾-inch in diameter.

  6. Cut snakes into about 1/2-inch long pieces. (Optional: Roll each piece against the tines of a fork or a gnocchi board to make light ridges.) Transfer shaped gnocchi to a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet dusted with flour.

  7. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil over high. Working in batches, drop in gnocchi and cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until gnocchi have risen to the top; transfer cooked gnocchi with a spider or slotted spoon to desired sauce.

  8. Serve and enjoy!

Chef John's Sweet Potato Gnocchi

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Prick sweet potato all over with a sharp knife. Microwave until very soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Let sit until cool enough to handle.

  2. Cut potato in half and scoop flesh into a bowl. Mash or blend until smooth. Add ricotta cheese, egg, kosher salt, and cayenne; mix with a spoon until smooth and combined. Stir in flour until mixture comes together into a sticky ball of dough, adding more flour as needed.

  3. Transfer dough to a floured surface and knead gently, adding flour as needed, until no longer sticky. Divide into 8 equal portions. Roll each into a rope, about 1/2-inch thick, using flour as needed. Dust ropes with flour and cut with a bench scraper into 1/2-inch pieces. Transfer pieces onto a sheet pan and let dry on the pan for 15 to 20 minutes, or refrigerate until needed.

  4. Make sauce: Cook bacon, stirring occasionally, in a skillet over medium heat until browned and crisp, 7 to 10 minutes. Add butter; cook and stir until lightly toasted, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn off heat and stir in rosemary. Set sauce aside.

  5. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook gnocchi in boiling water until they float to the top, 3 to 4 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer gnocchi to sauce in the skillet.

  6. Place the skillet over medium to medium-high heat; coat gnocchi with sauce, season with salt, and cook until heated through. Turn off heat and stir in 1 tablespoon Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.

  7. Transfer gnocchi to a warm serving bowl and top with remaining Parmigiano-Reggiano.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Add drained ricotta to a food processor and process until smooth. Add eggs and pulse a few times to incorporate. Add in flour, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper, and pulse a few times just until dough comes together.

  2. Turn out dough onto a flour-dusted surface. Knead slightly to form a ball. Divide ball into four sections. Roll out each section into a rope of preferred size, about 1/2-inch thick. Cut rope into about 1-inch pieces with a knife or pastry cutter. Place dumplings onto a parchment-lined or floured baking sheet in a single layer.

  3. Place the baking sheet into the freezer for at least 20 to 30 minutes so gnocchi can freeze individually without sticking together. Move gnocchi dumplings into a freezer-safe resealable plastic bag or container to store. Freeze for at least 24 hours (and up to 2 months) before cooking.

  4. When ready to prepare, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add in frozen gnocchi (right from the freezer) and cook for 3 to 3 1/2 minutes, in batches if needed so as not to crowd the pot.

  5. Place gnocchi on a platter and serve with your sauce of choice.

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook gnocchi in the boiling water until they float to the top, 2 to 4 minutes. Drain.

  2. Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add broccoli, cover, and steam until tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain and keep warm.

  3. Melt 1 teaspoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon onion and 1 teaspoon garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add sausage; cook and stir until browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in broccoli.

  4. Melt 1/2 cup butter in another skillet. Add remaining 1 tablespoon onion, 2 teaspoons garlic, and flour; cook and stir until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in gnocchi.

  5. Combine sausage mixture and gnocchi mixture; season with salt and pepper.

Instructions

  1. Season the gnocchi and vegetables:

    Place the onions, bell peppers, garlic, zucchini, tomatoes, and gnocchi into a large mixing bowl (separating any of the gnocchi if they’re sticking to each other). Add the olive oil, salt and pepper and mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon.

    Roast the gnocchi and vegetables:
  4. Mash garlic cloves and incorporate into gnocchi and vegetables:

    Remove the pans from the oven and set it on the stove or another heat-proof surface.

    Find the garlic cloves, and carefully (without burning yourself) squeeze them out of their skins, then placing the cloves in a corner of the sheet pan so you can mash it.

    Use a fork to mash each clove into a paste, then use a spatula or a wooden spoon to toss all of the ingredients (carefully loosening any bits that are sticking to the pan).

  6. Storage and reheating:

    The gnocchi and vegetables can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

    To reheat, spread it out on a sheet pan, cover it with foil, and put it in a 350°F oven for about 10 minutes, until everything is heated through; the exact timing will depend on the size of your gnocchi and how crowded your pan is.

Spinach Ricotta Gnocchi

Spinach Ricotta Gnocchi - gnocchi recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Blanch spinach and squeeze out excess moisture:

    Fill a medium saucepan halfway with water and heat until simmering. Add spinach and cook until tender, about 1 minute. Drain.

    Let spinach cool enough to touch, then squeeze as much moisture as you can out of it. You can also use a potato ricer if you have one to squeeze the excess moisture out of the spinach.

  2. Make the gnocchi dough:

    Add the spinach, egg, salt, and half of the ricotta to a food processor. Pulse until completely blended.

    Transfer mixture to a large bowl, mix in the remaining ricotta and the Parmesan cheese. Stir a pinch of nutmeg into the flour.

    Add the flour in by hand, starting with a half of the flour. Mix everything with your hands until the mixture holds together as a dough.

  3. Knead the dough:

    Put the dough out on a lightly floured smooth, clean surface. Knead lightly for about a minute, adding additional flour if needed, if the dough sticks too easily to the board or your hands. (At this point, if you wrap the dough in plastic and refrigerate for an hour, it will be easier to roll out.)

    When the dough is smooth and pliable, and still just a little bit sticky, divide it into 4 portions, each the size of an orange.

  4. Roll dough out into long ropes, cut into pieces:

    Flour your hands lightly. Using both hands, and a light touch, roll the dough out with a back and forth motion, starting at the center and stretching the dough out, to form a roll.

    This is the tricky part. You don't want to put so much pressure so that you compress the dough, but you do need enough pressure to create a rope of dough.

    The trick is to stretch the dough sideways as you are rolling. Once the segment you are working on gets to be about a foot long, you may find it easier to cut it in half, and then start working on that smaller segment.

    Roll the dough out until the roll is about the size of a middle finger. (Note that if your hands or the board is a little too floured, you may not have enough traction between your skin and the dough to easily stretch it sideways.) Cut each roll into 1-inch pieces.

    Roll dough out into long ropes, cut into pieces:
  5. Create indentations with a fork:

    Hold a fork at a 45% angle with its tines facing down on the work board, the curved part of the fork facing away from you. Starting with the curved outside bottom of the fork, press each piece of dough up along the length of the tines. Let the gnocchi fall back down.

    This is a pretty quick motion, the result is an indentation of the fork tines on one side of the gnocchi, and an indentation of your fingertip on the other side.

    Place the gnocchi on a lightly floured cookie sheet. At this point they can be cooked, or kept in the refrigerator several hours or overnight.

    Create indentations with a fork:
  6. Cook the gnocchi in boiling water:

    To cook the gnocchi, fill a large wide pot half-way with water. Bring to a boil, add 1 teaspoon of salt for every quart of water.

    Once the salt has dissolved, gently drop the gnocchi in the water, one by one. Try to do this in a way that the gnocchi are not falling in on top of each other, but rest on the bottom of the pan in a single layer.

    As the gnocchi cooks, they will rise to the surface of the water after a couple minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the risen gnocchi from the pot, place in a serving bowl.

    Sometimes the gnocchi can stick a little at the bottom. If you suspect this, nudge them a little to unstick them. As you remove some gnocchi, you can add a few more to the pan.

    The Sauce

    Cook the gnocchi in boiling water:
  7. While you are cooking the gnocchi, make the sauce. Heat oil in a medium saucepan on medium heat. Add the garlic cloves and cook until lightly browned on all sides. Remove and discard the garlic.

    Add the tomatoes (include any juices from the can) all at once (careful, they may cause the oil to splatter as the tomatoes hit the pan). As soon as the mixture boils, reduce the heat to low and let simmer, uncovered for 10 to 15 minutes. Season with salt. Stir occasionally. Use a potato masher to break up any solid pieces of tomato, you want a rough purée.

  8. Once the sauce reduces to a medium thick consistency, add the goat cheese, stirring until it is well blended. Add more salt to taste.

    Serve gnocchi with the sauce and extra grated Parmesan.

  1. Place squash in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook (or just mix in a large bowl by hand) add in whisked egg and salt. Add flour, 1 cup at a time, and knead until the dough pulls away from the side of the bowl. Add 1/2 cup of parmesan cheese and knead until combined. Turn out onto a heavily floured surface and knead until dough comes together. Dough will be sticky, just keep flouring hands lightly. I also like to sprinkle in some parmesan cheese in place of some of the flour.

  2. Remove large chunks of the dough then roll into a rope and cut into 1 inch sections to form the gnocchi. Place onto a wax paper, cover until ready to boil.

  3. For the Sauce: Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat, then add garlic and sage. Cook until garlic is just starting to turn golden brown, be careful you do not want to burn your garlic.

Millionaire Gnocchi with Red Sauce, Herbed Ricotta, and Golden Crispies - gnocchi recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Brown the sausage: Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add the sausage; break apart until well-browned and fully cooked. Remove sausage from the pan. If you want you can drain off excess grease from the pan (I often keep it for extra flavor).

  2. Simmer the sauce: Turn the heat down (so you don’t burn the garlic). Add the olive oil, onion, and garlic; sauté for a few minutes over medium low heat until fragrant. Add the tomatoes and oregano. Add sausage back in and simmer over low heat (think of it as a “lazy” simmer) for 30-45 minutes. Taste and season with salt and red pepper flakes.

  3. Make the ricotta: While the sauce is simmering, mix the ricotta ingredients in a small dish. Taste and adjust as you like.

  4. Cook the gnocchi: Cook gnocchi according to package directions (usually this involves a short boil). Add cooked gnocchi to the pan with the sauce. Bring to a low simmer to get the gnocchi and sauce bubbling and well-coated.

  5. Serve: Serve hot gnocchi topped with a dollop of herbed ricotta and a generous sprinkling of golden crispies. ✨ Heck to the yes.

Gnocchi with Creamy Mushroom Sauce

Gnocchi with Creamy Mushroom Sauce - gnocchi recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Cook the mushrooms and garlic: Melt the butter over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms; sauté until golden. Once they’re golden, add salt – this will draw out some of the water. Cook the mushrooms down so some of the water can evaporate. Add garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until fragrant.

  2. Make your sauce: Add broth, cream, and thyme. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for 5-10 minutes. Add cornstarch slurry to thicken. (This is a good time to boil your gnocchi if you haven’t already.)

  3. Add your gnocchi: Remove thyme sprigs from the sauce; add Parmesan and stir to melt it in. Add your cooked gnocchi and gently stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper; add additional broth if needed to keep the sauce nice and silky.

  4. You’re done! Yum. Scoop hot, steamy, saucy gnocchi into bowls, top with Parm, salt, and pepper, and enjoy your life.

Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Broccoli Rabe and Garlic Sage Butter Sauce

Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Broccoli Rabe and Garlic Sage Butter Sauce - gnocchi recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. For the gnocchi: Stick the sweet potato a few times with a fork, wrap in a damp paper towel, and microwave until soft, about 7 minutes. (You can also bake the sweet potato in the oven, which will take closer to an hour.)

  2. Scoop the flesh of the sweet potato into a mixing bowl. Discard the skin. Mix the ricotta, parmesan, and salt until well combined and almost completely smooth. Add the flour 1/2 cup at a time, kneading very gently after each addition (don’t over knead it – you don’t want it to get tough).

  3. Eventually, as the dough becomes easier to handle, transfer it to a clean floured work surface and form it into a loaf, about 9×5 inches. Cut a slice off of the loaf on the short side (think of it as if it were a loaf of banana bread and you were going to cut a slice to eat). Roll and stretch the slice on a floured surface until it forms a long, skinny rope-like shape. Cut the rope into 1-inch segments and transfer to a bowl: this is your gnocchi.

  4. Bring a large pot of water to boil, add the gnocchi, and boil until the gnocchi rise to the top of the water. Drain and toss gently with a little olive oil to prevent sticking. At this point you can make the rest of the recipe with the gnocchi, refrigerate the gnocchi to finish them later, or freeze them.

  5. For the Broccoli Rabe (optional): Bring a large pot of water to boil and prepare a bowl with ice water. Add the broccoli rabe to the boiling water and cook for 1 minute. Drain and transfer to the ice water to cool and stop the broccoli rabe from cooking further. Drain again and set aside.

  6. Putting it all together: Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium high heat until lightly bubbling and foaming. Add the gnocchi and pan-fry until golden brown on the outside (you may have to do this in batches). Once the gnocchi is done, add the broccoli rabe, garlic, sage, and salt and pan-fry for another few minutes (again, working in batches). Remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes so the butter thickens just a little. Add the cream to the pan along with the Parmesan cheese – toss gently a few times to combine (the sauce should coat the gnocchi and broccoli rabe very lightly) and serve immediately with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice if you want.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1. To make the gnocchi. In a bowl, mix together the spinach, ricotta, egg yolks, flour, parmesan, and 1 teaspoon salt. Stir until just combined. If the dough feels wet, add a tablespoon of flour at a time until the dough can be formed into a ball. The dough should be sticky.

  2. 2. Flour the counter and scrape the dough out onto it. Cut the dough into four pieces. Working with one piece of dough at a time, roll the dough into a rope about 1-inch thick and cut into bite-size pieces. Repeat this process, placing the gnocchi on a floured baking sheet.

  3. 3. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Boil the gnocchi until they float to the top and are cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Drain.

  4. 4. Melt together the butter, garlic, and sage in a large skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally until the butter is browning and the sage is crisp, about 4-5 minutes. Drop the gnocchi into the butter sauce, gently tossing to combine. Keep over low heat.

  5. 5. In a skillet set over medium heat, add the olive oil, tomatoes and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Cook until the tomatoes begin to pop, about 4-5 minutes. Turn off the heat, toss the tomatoes with the thyme and balsamic vinegar.

  6. 6. Divide the gnocchi and sauce among bowls. Top with tomatoes and parmesan. EAT!
