Ingredients
Instructions
-
Peel the potatoes and boil them until they are soft and easily mashed with a fork. Drain the potatoes and allow them to cool slightly.
-
Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or a ricer until they are smooth and free of lumps.
-
Add the flour, egg, and a pinch of salt to the mashed potatoes. Mix the ingredients together until a dough forms. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
-
On a floured surface, divide the dough into smaller portions. Roll each portion into a rope, about 1-inch thick. Cut the rope into bite-sized pieces to form the gnocchi.
-
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until they are soft and fragrant.
-
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and sugar. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste. Allow the sauce to simmer for about 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
-
While the sauce is simmering, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the gnocchi in batches until they float to the surface, then remove them with a slotted spoon and transfer to the tomato sauce.
-
Toss the gnocchi in the tomato sauce until they are well coated. Add the chopped basil leaves and stir to combine.
-
Serve the gnocchi with an extra sprinkle of fresh basil and grated Parmesan cheese on top.
