Ingredients
- 3 Potatoes (or sweet potatoes or kabocha squash)
- 80 grams Bread (strong) flour
- 1 pinch Salt
Method
- Wrap unpeeled potatoes with plastic wrap and heat in the microwave for 4-5 minutes.
- Remove the skins.
- Heat some more until softened.
- Mash the potatoes in a bowl.
- Add the flour and a pinch of salt and mix with a spoon (it's okay if it becomes crumbly).
- Once no longer powdery, bring it all together with your hands and knead lightly.
- It's ready when it's about the consistency of your ear.
- (You don't need to knead it like bread.)
- Make small discs of the dough and use a fork to dust the pieces with a bit of bread flour, then use the back of the fork to flatten each piece.
- At this time, after the gnocchi has been dusted with flour and pressed, you can put them in a Ziploc bag and store in the freezer.
- Then, when you want to eat, all you have to do is boil.
- Bring water to a boil in a pot, add the salt, and boil the gnocchi.
- Boil for a bit after they have risen to the surface.
- Drain.
- Top with your favorite sauce.
- Boiled gnocchi goes well with olive oil, salt, and is especially delicious when sprinkled with Parmesan cheese!
- This is gnocchi made with kabocha squash.
- You can make a boiled dish with the remaining kabocha squash!
- This sauce is made by mixing together soy milk and cream cheese.
- [Broccoli sauce] Soft, boiled broccoli is finely chopped and crispy.
- Saute it in a frying pan with olive oil and garlic.
- If you have some, add some anchovies and stir-fry while crushing up the broccoli.
- Mix in some chopped walnuts, salt, and powdered cheese to finish.
- [Blue cheese sauce] Warm up 1/2 cup of soy milk in a frying pan.
- Add a good amount of Gorgonzola cheese (about 80 g).
- Add a bit of honey until thickened (any kind of cheese is good).
- Sprinkle some walnuts on top.
- You can also add some sauteed onions.
- [Avocado Basil Sauce] Just mix together some basil pesto and avocado while mashing the avocado.
- Mash until the avocado retains just a bit of its shape.
- [Lemon butter or lemon oil] Melt 1 tablespoon (or 2 for 2 people) of butter in a small pot or the microwave.
- Add 1~2 tablespoons of lemon juice, a bit of salt, and mix.
- You can also use olive oil instead of butter (and you won't have to heat it).
- Boiled lemon oil with parsley is also good.
- Sprinkle as desired with Parmesan cheese.
