Roasted Gnocchi
We
You’ll need:
500g peeled pototoes
200g plain flour
1 egg
Salt & Pepper
Place the potatoes in a pan of water, salt and bring to the boil. Simmer for 10 minutes or so, until they are tender. Drain and mash, and leave to cool a little. Once they are cool enough to put your hands in, add in the flour, egg and seasoning. Mix to form a smooth dough.
Turn out, and roll into sausages, approx 1.5cm thick {I made four sausages out of this recipe} Cut each sausage into pieces 2cm long.
Heat a tablespoon of Olive Oil in a roasting pan in the oven, then add in the gnocchi pieces and bake for around 25 minutes. You could add in a sprinkle of rosemary or garlic while they are roasting.
We served ours with honey roasted carrots and a simple vegetable tart sweet potato chunks {blanched} onion and mushrooms fried off, placed on a sheet of puff pastry and topped with a little brie. My current favourite meal – I could eat this every.single.day!
Next time I want to try adding some goats cheese in with the potatoes when I make the gnocchi. What are your favourite things to eat right now?

January 29, 2014 at 10:28yum, yum, YUM!! Roasted gnocchi?! We love gnocchi and I’ve never heard of having it roasted but that looks delicious. I’m all for comforting, warming foods at the moment – curries, stews and chocolate cake!! :)

January 29, 2014 at 10:38Oooh I love Gnocchi and make it when I have the time – such a simple pleasure and sooo tasty with pesto – baking it sounds really interesting and I am going to give that a go for sure

January 29, 2014 at 20:51These look delicious! We’re trying to cut gluten from our diet, and these (with perhaps substituting the wheat flour with rice flour or something) would make a great alternative to pasta. I’ve never attempted making them myself, but they sound really easy!
