    Title: Little Potato Gnocchi With Sage Butter
    Categories: Italian, Pasta
    Yield: 1 Batch

    600 g Floury potatoes
    200 g Butter; melted
    1 Egg; beaten
    200 g Plain white flour; plus
    -extra for dusting
    2 tb Fresh sage; finely chopped
    Sea salt and freshly ground
    -black pepper
    50 g Parmesan cheese; finely
    -grated

    Cook the potatoes in boiling water for 20-30 minutes until very
    tender, then drain well. Halve the potatoes and press through a
    potato ricer, or peel and press through a sieve into a bowl.

    While they are still warm, add 1 tsp salt, the beaten egg and the
    flour. Lightly mix together, then turn out onto a floured board.

    Kneed lightly to yield a smooth, soft, slightly sticky dough. Roll the
    dough into long 'sausages', 1.5 cm in diameter. Cut into 2 cm pieces
    and shape into corks or pull each one down over the back of a form to
    produce the traditional ridged outside and the hollow inside. Lay
    them on a lightly floured tea towel.

    Bring a large pan of salted water to a boil. Cook the gnocchi in
    batches. Drop them into the boiling water and cook for 2-3 minutes or
    until they float on the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon
    immediately after they rise and keep hot while cooking the remainder.

    Meanwhile, mix the butter and the sage in a small bowl, reheat, taste
    and season with salt and pepper. Pour over the sage butter, scatter
    with the Parmesan, and serve immediately.

    Notes:

    Only use white-fleshed floury potatoes. New potatoes will make them
    gluey and chewy.

    Overworking the gnocchi will make them tough.

    Nice recipe - but, at this stage of my life I buy stuff like that down
    the stupormarkup. Goncci are very versatile ... likke tortellini. They
    go well in many places. Here's a recipe I make with bought gnocci that's
    one of the few things that Olive Garden (the McDonald's of Italian) does
    well .....
