Instructions
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.
Dica: This dish pairs well with a light green salad.
