Vibrant vegetable-packed trattoria favorite without heavy sauces.
Ingredients:
  • 50g sweet potato, unpeeled
  • 400g Red Delight potatoes, unpeeled
  • 150g (1 cup) plain flour
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 40.00 ml chopped fresh basil leaves
  • 27.30 gm Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 150g baby spinach leaves
  • 20g (1/4 cup) shaved parmesan (or vegetarian hard cheese)
  • 200g green round beans, steamed
Instructions:
  • In a saucepan, immerse the potatoes in cold water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook for 25-30 minutes until tender. Drain, let cool, and then peel.
  • Mash the potato until smooth. Press one-quarter of the potato through a sieve into a bowl, repeating in 3 more batches. Add flour, egg yolk, and basil, and stir until a firm, slightly sticky dough forms.
  • Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth. Divide it into four equal portions and roll each portion into a 2cm-thick log. Use a flat-bladed knife to cut the logs into 2cm pieces, then transfer them to a lightly floured tray and place it in the fridge.
  • 1. Bring a saucepan of water to a boil. Cook one-third of the gnocchi for 2 minutes until they float to the surface. Transfer to a baking tray using a slotted spoon. Repeat with the remaining batches.
  • In a frying pan over medium heat, heat half of the oil. Add spinach and stir until just wilted, about 1 minute. Add gnocchi and cook until heated through, about 1 minute. Divide into bowls, drizzle with remaining oil, season, and top with parmesan. Serve with the beans.
