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.

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.
Drain the potato, cool and mash well - no lumps!
Once cooled, add the flour and egg to the mashed potato and mix together to form a dough.
Knead for 5 minutes until smooth.
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.
To give the gnocchi their singulative look, roll each piece of dough against a fork to make light ridges.
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!
