Simple Gnocchi
Potato gnocchi has always been something that I thought was really difficult to make, and just assumed that it must be high in calories.
I was wrong about both!
It's super easy and literally goes with anything.

Yields2 ServingsCategoryDinner
1 large potato
120 g plain flour
0.50 egg
1
Bring a large pot of water to the boil and peal your potato.
Boil the potato until it's softened but is still slightly firm, about 15 minutes.
2
Drain the potato, cool and mash well - no lumps!
3
Once cooled, add the flour and egg to the mashed potato and mix together to form a dough.
Knead for 5 minutes until smooth.
4
Divide the dough into quarters.
Working with one piece at a time, roll the dough into a sausage shape (about 1/2 inch thick). Using a shape knife, cut the dough into 1/2 inch pieces and set aside.
Repeat this with the remaining dough.
5
To give the gnocchi their singulative look, roll each piece of dough against a fork to make light ridges.
6
Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil and add the gnocchi.
You know the gnocchi is cooked when they rise to the top. Using a slotted spoon, remove from the water as they rise.
Mix into your favourite sauce and enjoy!
For this recipe I used a spicy tomato and mushroom sauce with spinach!
