I have to admit that this dish surprised me. A friend told me that in her house, they used to eat gnocchi filled with a mix breadcrumbs and cheese. Thus, I made my own experiment, and I really like them!!
Gnocchi with breadcrumbs and parmiggiano reggiano cheese filling
500 grams of potatoes
2 egg yolk
00 Flour as needed
100 grams of breadcrumbs
150 grams of parmiggiano reggiano grated cheese
Water as needed
Combine the breadcrumbs and grated cheese. Add few drops of water to have a more solid mix. Set aside.
Peel and boil the potatoes. Drain them very well. They have to be very dry. Make a mashed potatoes, and place the egg yolks. Gradually, add the 00 flour until you have a soft, malleable, and firm dough. Make a roll 1 cm in diameter. Cut them in 1 cm, and fill it with 1/4 spoon of the breadcrumbs and grated cheese mixture. Boil them in hot water until they float. Place them in a pan with home made tomato sauce with lots of capers. Serve it warm with Parmiggiano Reggiano cheese on top. ENJOY!
Have never had gnocchi with fillings...the sauce looks splendid!
ReplyDeleteSeems like an odd combination, but pleasing nevertheless. I’d be willing to give it a try.
