Ingredients
- 2 large baking potatoes
- 2 eggs
- Up to 1 cup flour
- Salt and white pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 cup sliced Shiitake mushrooms
- 1 cup tomato concassJe (peeled, seeded and diced tomatoes)
- 1 tablespoon each chopped basil, parsley and chives
- Parmesan cheese, for garnish
Method
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- With a fork, prick potatoes all over; bake until tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
- While still piping hot, cut open potatoes and scoop out pulp into a mixing bowl.
- Beating vigorously with a wooden spoon add eggs, then add enough flour, a bit at a time, to make a tight but workable dough flexible enough to pipe from a pastry bag.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Transfer dough to a pastry bag fitted with a 3/4-inch tip and pipe out long cylinders onto a wax paper-lined cookie sheet.
- Chill until firm.
- Cut each cylinder into 1-inch pieces.
- Lightly flour work surface and roll pieces, one at a time, over prongs of a fork, or over a gnocchi dowel.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Heat a saute pan over low heat, add butter, then mushrooms.
- After 1 minute add tomatoes.
- Toss and cook for 2 minutes.
- Meanwhile boil gnocchi, testing frequently for doneness.
- Using a large slotted spoon or a spider, remove gnocchi to pan and toss with mushroom mixture and herbs; season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Serve in warmed shallow bowls, topped with freshly-grated cheese.
