Instructions

1
assar

Boil or bake the potatoes until very tender. Peel them while still warm and mash them thoroughly or press through a ricer.

Dica: Use starchy potatoes for the best gnocchi texture.

2
amassar

On a clean surface, combine the mashed potato with the egg, a drizzle of olive oil, and salt to taste. Gradually incorporate the all-purpose flour until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.

Dica: Use as little flour as possible; over-floured gnocchi will be dense.

3
misturar

Divide the dough into pieces and roll each piece into long ropes, about 1/2 inch thick. Cut the ropes into 3/4-inch pieces.

Dica: If desired, gently roll each piece over the back of a fork or a gnocchi board to create ridges.

4
cortar

Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Drop the gnocchi into the boiling water. They are done when they float to the surface (about 1-3 minutes). Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Dica: Cook the gnocchi in batches to avoid crowding the pot.

5
cozinhar

For the sauce: In a large skillet, sauté the minced garlic, chopped onion, and red chili pepper in olive oil until fragrant.

Dica: Be careful not to burn the garlic.

6
refogar

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for a minute. Carefully add the vodka, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the vodka reduce slightly (about 2 minutes).

Dica: Ensure good ventilation when adding the alcohol.

7
adicionar

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Add the torn fresh basil leaves.

Dica: Taste and adjust seasoning with salt if necessary.

8
adicionar

Gently add the cooked gnocchi to the sauce and toss to coat. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese.

Dica: If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water.

9
misturar

Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.

Dica: This dish pairs well with a light green salad.
