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.
