Gnocchi Gratin With Chilli Tomato Sauce Recipes

GNOCCHI WITH CHERRY TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the onion, garlic, and chile pepper; cook until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high, and stir in the cherry tomatoes. Cook until the tomatoes have lost their form and are beginning to make a sauce, about 5 minutes. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 10 minutes.
• While the sauce is simmering, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the fresh gnocchi, and cook until the gnocchi float to the surface, 2 to 3 minutes. Gently strain out the gnocchi and place into a serving dish.
• Stir the basil and olives into the simmering sauce, and cook for one minute. Pour the sauce over the drained gnocchi and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese to serve.

Steps:

• PREHEAT OVEN to 400F/204C. Spray a small 7-8 inch/18-20cm ovenproof baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray

Add milk (and cream if using), whisking until slightly thickened, about 4-5 minutes. Turn off heat. Stir in grated cheese until smooth sauce is formed. If too thick, add a bit more milk (but note that sauce will thicken further with baking and standing). Taste and adjust seasonings. Stir in gnocchi and green onions.

Bake for 7 minutes, then broil for 3 minutes to brown, watching to ensure it doesn't burn.

POTATO GNOCCHI WITH TOMATO BASIL SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Wash the potatoes under cold running water and pat dry.
• Use a large knife and make a deep incision length-wise into each potato.
• Place the potatoes on a cookie sheet and bake until they are tender, for about 1 hour.
• Let potatoes cool a little but do peel them while they are still a bit warm.
• Put them through a potato ricer. Alternately you can use a potato masher or a fork.
• Place the mashed potatoes in a large bowl.
• Add in the salt, 1 tablespoon of beaten egg and 1 and 1/2 cups of flour.
• Using your hands, mix well just until the flour and potatoes stick together forming a rough looking dough.
• Transfer the dough to a wooden board or work surface.
• Knead the dough lightly, gradually adding a little bit of the remaining flour if the dough is sticking too heavily on your work surface. (I did not need all of the remaining 1/2 cup more of flour)
• Knead for 2 to 3 minutes.
• The dough should be smooth, pliable and just a little bit sticky.
• Cut off a section of dough at a time.
• Roll the piece of dough with a back and forth motion until you get the thickness of your index finger.
• Cut the roll into 1 inch pieces.
• Repeat with the remaining dough.
• To shape the gnocchi, I used my little wooden gnocchi board with ridges.
• Alternately, you can use the back of a fork .
• Hold the fork at 45 degree angle, with the tines down on the work surface with its' inside curve towards you.
• Take a gnocchi role and press it with your index finger against the tip end of the fork while quickly sliding it up along the length of the fork tins.
• Or simply use your index and middle fingers by pressing both fingers down into the gnocchi and rolling quickly towards you. The gnocchi will flip over and have a pretty indentation.
• Repeat with the remaining pieces of dough.
• Transfer the gnocchi on a lightly floured cookie sheet and cover with a clean dish towel.
• Set aside while you prepare the sauce.
• Heat the oil in a medium sauce pot over medium low heat and sauté the garlic with the crushed chilli pepper just until fragrant, taking care not to burn the garlic. (should take less then a minute).
• Add in the passata (Italian strained tomatoes), basil, salt and pepper and stir well.
• Fill the bottle of passata three quarters full with water. Give it a good swirl and add this to the sauce.
• Bring the sauce to a boil then lower the heat, cover and simmer for about 45 minutes or until the sauce thickens and the sweet concentrated flavors of the tomatoes come through.
• While the sauce simmers, fill a large sauce pot with water and bring to a rapid boil.
• Add salt to the boiling water and then the gnocchi.
• Once the gnocchi come to surface they are pretty much ready. Leave them floating for about 10 seconds. (If they stay in the water too long, they will become mushy).
• Remove the gnocchi with a slotted spoon and place them on a serving platter.
• Pour a little of the sauce over the gnocchi, stir to combine then mix in the diced mozzarella.
• The heat of the tomato sauce will slowly melt the mozzarella.
• Divide the gnocchi onto four plates. Top with more sauce and Parmesan cheese.
• Serve while still hot.
