Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs starchy potatoes (e.g., Russets)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 (28 oz) can whole peeled tomatoes
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 10 fresh basil leaves
Instructions
- Boil the potatoes in salted water for 20-30 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and cool slightly before peeling.
- Pass the cooled potatoes through a ricer or mash until smooth. Mix in the egg, flour, and salt until a soft dough forms.
- On a floured surface, roll the dough into long ropes (½ inch thick) and cut them into bite-sized pieces; use a fork to create ridges.
- In a skillet over medium heat, sauté garlic in olive oil until fragrant. Add canned tomatoes and basil; simmer for 15 minutes.
- Boil another pot of salted water and cook the gnocchi until they float (about 2-3 minutes). Toss in the sauce and serve.
