CHEF JOHN'S BASIL RICOTTA GNOCCHI



Chef John's Basil Ricotta Gnocchi image

This technique turns out beautifully light, tender gnocchi every time and are just as good, if not better, than the classic potato-based gnocchi. And much easier. Plus you can make them ahead of time and brown them in butter before serving.

Time 1h20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup packed fresh basil leaves
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 (12 ounce) container whole-milk ricotta cheese, drained well
1 ¼ teaspoons kosher salt
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 ½ ounces freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
10 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons unsalted butter for browning

Steps:

  • Briefly blanch basil leaves in simmering water, about 20 seconds. Transfer immediately to a bowl of cold water to stop the cooking. Drain on towels. Place basil in bowl of a blender. Add eggs. Blend until basil is blended in and mixture achieves an even green color with flecks of basil.
  • Place ricotta in a mixing bowl. Add basil/egg mixture, salt, cayenne, Parmesan cheese, and flour. Thoroughly mix together using a spatula; whisk mixture to ensure ingredient are evenly blended. Cover and refrigerate until chilled and firm, about 2 hours.
  • Scoop out a small portion of dough using a teaspoon. Using a second spoon, shape into a rounded oval. Repeat until you have enough gnocchi for a batch, about 6 or so.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a simmer. Drop shaped gnocchi in batches into pot as you form them. After a minute or so they will rise to the surface. Continue simmering until they spring back to the touch when you remove one from the water to test it, 2 to 3 more minutes. Transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon to cool. Repeat with the remaining dough.
  • Optional step: Melt butter in a skillet until bubbling. Add cooked gnocchi and brown on each side. Serve with a dusting of grated Parmesan cheese and a drizzle of the butter from the pan.

BASIL GNOCCHI



Basil Gnocchi image

My first attempt at home made gnocchi, and this was quick, fun and oh so yummy! The most time consuming bit is waiting for the potatoes to cook! I served this with leftover pasta sauce, but I imagine the possibilities are endless. Rather than sauce, after poaching the gnocchi you can apparently cook 1/2 cup butter til nut-brown, then toss the gnocchi in it til crisp; sounds evil but delicious!

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons butter
200 g plain flour (7 oz)
500 g potatoes (17.65 oz)
sea salt, to taste
1 cup fresh basil, firmly packed
1 tablespoon olive oil
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
more plain flour, as needed

Steps:

  • Peel potatoes, then steam or boil them til cooked through and tender.
  • While potatoes are cooking, blend the basil leaves and olive oil in a food processor.
  • Mash the potatoes with a fork, add butter and salt & pepper to taste and mash til butter is melted. Set aside for a few minutes til potatoes are not too hot to handle but still warm.
  • Stir in basil/oil mixture; add flour and work into the potato mix til you have a dough.
  • Turn onto a floured workbench and knead gently for 5 minutes, adding more flour as needed - dough should be soft, pliable and not sticky.
  • Divide dough into quarters and roll each piece to make a long, thin sausage, then cut sausage into short lengths, whatever size you want your gnocchi to be.
  • Fill a very large saucepan with water and bring to the boil, add some salt. When the water is boiling, add half the gnocchi. Allow the gnocchi to cook for 1 minutes after they rise to the surface, skim them out and keep warm; repeat with remaining gnocchi.
  • Serve with your sauce of choice!

GRANDMA MABEL'S GNOCCHI



Grandma Mabel's Gnocchi image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 8h55m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 pounds russet potatoes
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon salt, plus more for the cooking water
4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for the rolling table
1 pound bacon, diced
3 yellow onions, diced
1 stick (8 tablespoons) butter
2 ounces shredded Parmesan
1 ounce fresh basil, chiffonade

Steps:

  • For the gnocchi: Place the potatoes in a large stockpot, then fill with enough water to cover the potatoes three-quarters of the way. Set on the stove to boil until tender, about 45 minutes. Peel the potatoes and place through a ricer while still hot, then cool in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes.
  • Place the eggs in a mixing bowl and add the salt. Whisk with a fork, then add the potatoes and blend with a rubber spatula until mixed. Add the flour and dump the dough on a nice rolling table, then knead the dough just until it is all mixed and there are no lumps, making sure the dough can hold shapes. Pinch off a piece about the size of a fist, then roll it out into a nice long snake that is the diameter of a quarter. Cut on the bias making about 1-inch cuts, and place on a parchment-lined sheet pan dusted with flour. Freeze for at least 6 hours and up to 8 hours.
  • For the butter bacon onions: Cook the bacon in a sauté pan over medium heat until cooked and all the fat is rendered down. Transfer the bacon to a plate and cook the onions in the rendered bacon fat over medium heat until nice and caramelized. Add the bacon back to the pan along with the butter. Stir until the butter is melted and blended. (This can be made ahead of time, then cooled and used as needed.)
  • To finish, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add about 25 frozen gnocchi and cook until they float to the top, 8 to 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a separate pan, heat up 5 ounces butter bacon onion sauce. Strain the gnocchi and add to the sauce. Cook until the gnocchi are coated all over, about 1 minute, then garnish with the Parmesan and chiffonade of basil.
