THE GOOD LIFE GNOCCHI

INGREDIENTS

4 large potatoes1, washed, peeled and quartered
Salt & ground white pepper
1 egg, lightly whisked
2 cups plain flour
85g finely grated parmesan
Plain flour, for dusting

METHOD

1. Prepare MicroSteamer™ according to instructions. Add potatoes potatoes to Base. Cover and microwave at 800 watts for 15 minutes2.
2. Transfer cooked potato to a fine sieve over the Thatsa® Bowl Junior. Push potato through with the TupperChef™ Spatula until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Add egg to the potato and stir.
4. Using the Bake 2 Basics Sift ‘N Stor add half the flour, then parmesan and stir until combined. Repeat with remaining flour and parmesan until well combined and a firm dough forms. If the dough is too soft, slowly add additional flour until firm.
5. Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth. Divide dough into 4 equal portions. Roll 1 portion into a 1.5 - 2cm diameter log about 30cm long. Lightly flour the the U-Series™ Utility Knife and cut log into 2cm pieces. Repeat with remaining portions.
6. Lightly flour your hands and roll each piece of dough into a ball. Use a fork and lightly roll over the top to make an indentation and place onto the TupperChef Baking Sheet.
7. Using the Compact Cookware 3.5L Saucepan bring salted water to the boil over medium heat. Using the KP Skimmer add ¼ of gnocchi taking care not to overcrowd the pan and cook until they rise to the surface. Use the Skimmer to drain and transfer to a clean Thatsa Bowl Junior and place the Seal (unsealed) on top to cover. Repeat, in 3 more batches, with the remaining gnocchi.  Serve immediately with Basil Pesto or sauce of choice.

Kitchen Notes:

• 1 Waxy all-rounder potatoes such as Sebago and golden delight work best. It's best to steam rather than boil the potatoes. Boiling can saturate potato
  with water, which will increase the amount of flour required and result in a heavier gnocchi.  
• 2 Cooking times may vary depending on the potato, if they are not cooked through, microwave for a few more minutes at a time until cooked.
• Cool the cooked gnocchi completely and place in Freezer Mates. Frozen gnocchi will keep for up to 6 weeks.
