HOW TO COOK GNOCCHI

  • One portion is about 200g of gnocchi to 100g sauce.

  • 10g of salt per 1L of water.

    1L of water for every 100g of gnocchi.

    This will help prevent them from sticking to each other and to the pot.

  • While the water is coming to a boil, warm the sauce in a separate sauté pan over medium-low heat. Once it’s warm, turn off the stove and set pan aside until the gnocchi is cooked.

  • Bring salted water to a hard boil.

    Put the gnocchi in the boiling water. Give a slight stir to help them circulate and avoid sticking to the pot.

    After the gnocchi float, give them about 30-60 additional seconds.

    The process will generally take 2 mins in total.

    Reserve at least 200ml of cooking water to use later.

  • Before removing Gnocchi from the water: Taste & Test.

    Try one gnocchi and ensure the raw taste has been cooked out.

  • Remove gnocchi from the water and add them to the sauce. Combine the pasta and sauce together for 1-2mins, lightly stirring/tossing in the pan over medium heat. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a little pasta water to loosen it. 1-2 Tablespoons at a time.
