My grandma used to do for me gnocchi everytime i asked for when I was 5 to 10... when she got too old to make them I cooked gnocchi for her as she teached to me, despite she was suffering of dementia she recognised me and wanted to help me with gnocchi, then she started crying and me too with her :D For many of us italian making food is an expression of pure love...
Wish I could afford to donate. Extremely grateful for every video I get to watch. The love and knowledge in the videos brings a new way of living if your looking for it. I can't imagine how many people will enjoy several meals and pass it on for years because of your want to share the satisfaction.
For a more precise recipe I spent quite sometime creating a Gnocchi recipe over many months using online sources and videos on UA-cam. After many experiments on my family the conclusion was for a really good dumpling that had texture that wasn't rubbery but didn't dissolve like a starchy slurry in your mouth either was this: Weigh your cooked potato!! Then add 25% flour ('00' if you have it but if not don't worry, use what you have). For example 400g of potato, then add 100g of flour, season very well with salt and pepper then add one egg yolk for every 300g of potato used. So in this case just the one. (If you get to 600g of potato then that's when you add a second yolk). Knead together until just combined into a dough then continue as Stephen explains. As a guide you need 150g of cooked potato per person, if you bake your potatoes you will lose 50% weight from a raw to cooked plus skin removal
Dude! You're absolutely my favourite cooking teacher of all time. The first video of yours I watched was your cavatelli with sausage and rapini, and I make it all the time. This was over a year ago. You explain things so well, and every time a learn a new recipe of yours, I learn at least one new technique that I can apply to so many other recipes. Even ones that I thought I had perfected. My girlfriend and I are in Italy right now. We took a cooking class the other day where we were taught how to make gnocchi. Our current Airbnb has a nice kitchen setup, so we decided to give it a shot. It wasn't going as well as we had hoped, so I searched your channel for instructions, and sure enough landed on this video. Everything makes so much sense now. You're a better teacher than an Italian chef. Oh, and she also taught us how to make Ragù Bolognese, but within five minutes of following her recipe I already knew that yours is better. I've made it twice in the last month or so, and the flavours are so deep and rich. Your attention to detail is unmatched. Thank you so much for all that you do! You have a happy subscriber for life!
I made them just yesterday night but with a duck ragu. A big thank you from Italy for developing a fantastic channel showing the real spirit of our cuisine.
I just tried this recipe. Second time making these pillows and they turned out so much better!! Tip on not kneading these bad boys, roasting potatoes vs boiling and key to not using too much flour was very helpful. A friend of mine makes them and said water should be BOILING when putting gnocchi in. Can’t wait to make them again! I served with a homemade creamy tomato sauce. Your comments and knowledge was very, very helpful. Looking forward to trying other recipes on your site!
The wife made these today. Light and fluffy and that was using regular all purpose flour. My buddy picked me up some Caputo Tipo 00 today so that will be the next batch. Thank you Stephen!
This is my first time on your channel. The way you explain with proper ammount of flour and humidity, time of year. Dude. This is how people should learn others how to cook = understand the all processes in kitchen. Keep going. :)
I just bought a ricer specifically for this purpose. Gnocchi is definitely my favourite “pasta” to make and eat. I really liked your video and found it interesting that you baked instead of boiled the potatoes.
you don’t see people be this passionate about food anymore. other food channels. ie. tasty, don’t show the whole process of flavour making. i absolutely love his vibe
The first time I made gnocchi they came out perfect and since then they’ve come out like mashed potatoes, good to know it’s the flour that holds them together!
I just tried to make this and it was literally just gooey wet pile of mashed potatos. No matter how much flour i put (more than 300g) it didn't come together. it just kept absorbing everything. Also in the video he says he is using 2 pounds of potatoes, and on the written recipe he says 1 pound, so i'm pretty confused about that.
I think you also have to work it enough, people always emphasize to not over work it, but it does make the dough tougher so there has to be a medium somewhere...
@@Shroomunati me and my girlfriend were working that dough for about 15 mins, gradually adding flour with little to no change in the dough's texture. Eventually shoved it as it is in the oven and made some sort of potato bread... It's actually not bad.
Just made this recipe! Turned out really great - it is verrrrry soft though, personally I prefer something a little firmer, so next time I think I'll experiment adding a little extra flour with a minute or two of kneading. Thanks!
Worth pointing out that many recipes involve boiling the potatoes, where baking them is preferred for keeping the potatoes drier--much better for making the dough, more of a delicate texture and less gummy. Once again, an excellent video. These are fantastic with a porcini mushroom sauce, briefly frying the gnocchi in butter to a slight golden brown edge before mixing into the mushroom sauce and finishing with some parm. Would it not be okay to freeze the gnocchi that you're not using before cooking them, given that they'll thaw quickly and require very little cooking time?
Hey, my experience with freezing uncooked gnocchi is that it does not work at all. They become a mushy paste. It worked much better to cook them all and freeze some. You can then reheat those ones just by frying them in a pan!
@AC At a restaurant I used to work we made and froze raw gnocchi, then cooked straight from the freezer when ordered. Instead of dropping in water though, we just used a saute pan with a little oil - 2 or 3 mins a side on medium heat to get some colour on them and cook through. I don't know how not using boiling water worked (apologies to any Italians as I feel this is not traditional) but they cooked perfectly and were delicious. The caramelising on the outside added another texture and flavour.
Another option to reduce the mushiness that can happen if you directly boil them is to boil them twice, once to defrost them (3 mins or so), let them sit on a plate in a single layer for a few minutes, and the boil them again until they start to float.
I will never thank you enough to respect Italian cousine. As italian I appreciate your work to try to make Americans understand how to make proper Italian dishes.
This was fantastic! You are a pro and you made it seem easy. I hope it will be for me. Boy, I love gnocchi more than anything! Especially potato based.
Great technique. I like how you roasted the potatoes rather than boiling them which reduces the moisture and thus likely calls for less flour. I have also never seen anyone use a mouth cam! Very cool.
I copied this gnocchi for our dinner tonight. My family was impressed. It was so delicious! The only thing I could not copy was the way this guy skillfully stirred the gnocchi in the pan. Anyway, thanks a lot for posting this recipe!
Thank you for this video, helped a lot when i made mine! Especially with the baking method rather than boiling. I used plain flour though - will try tipo 00 flour next time.
Yesss. I made gnocchi once and it came out great, but I can’t for the life of me remember what I did because I always mix recipes. I’m gonna for sure try this out.
I am so glad this happen to someone else as well - I thought I requested a bag of apples on one of my online grocery orders nope, I ordered a single apple.
If I may, the more appropriate title would be "Gnocchi al Pomodoro". "Di pomodoro" makes it sound as if the gnocchi itself is made with tomatoes. Awesome gnocchi regardless!
I have some balsamic vinegar of modena....any ideas of what I could make to use it? Maybe make a video of a few quick recipes to use the modena vinegar
If you don't have a nice and refined tomato sauce in your freezer, you could start a skillet with olive oil and chili flakes, and garlic, and once they start to sizzle a bit, add 2 diced tomatoes and some basil and let it reduce until it's a sauce consistency. It's not as refined, but this was the very first dish I learned besides ramen after I saw gnocchi for cheap at a store and remembered how much I loved them in a restaurant.
Excellent recipe! However I need to make a low carb version. (Diabetics circumvent carbs when possible). so I will try subbing in riced cauliflower, finely chopped spinach, garlic, nutmeg, fage 0% sugar, and maybe a tablespoon of almond flour, in order to bypass the always popular potato. Will try a red sauce with Bumble Bee diced clams to boost protein gram count.
I’ve always thought gnocchi overrated... but then they’ve always been commercially made 😝 So today I tried your method and, ta-daa, a delicious meal... Sadly my kitchen batterie doesn’t run to a ricer, so contented myself with lots of chopping with the scraper. Worked for me!! So, thank you 👍😺
This looks like a good recipe...I like them with a little more structure, so I will try egg. You mentioned the whole egg, or maybe just the yolk...but what about just the white?? I have a ton of duck egg whites left over from curing the yolks. It seems like using whites instead of yolks might be the best of both worlds...giving a little more structure but still keeping it light.
Another potato recipe you could try is potato salad but the Asian way! Steam potatoes, peel skin off, cube them up. Then spoon in mayonnaise, diced zucchini, diced hard boiled eggs, diced apples, boiled carrot cubes, chopped fresh parsley, flaky canned tuna (this is optional), then season with salt, pepper, slight honey drizzle. Mix them up and refrigerate overnight for tastier salad, you can even use it as a bread spread!

I love the Italians….so passionate…I am going to try this out, I don't have a ricer so I am going to have to mash my potatoes hope it works….
That is a beautiful memory 🥲

I just tried for the first time this week-end after seeing your video, it was delicious! The best thing to do with simple ingredients during lockdown!

I'm so gonna try this! I've been all into pasta making the last couple of weeks. Please do a recipe for sunday sauce!! I love your weekday sauce
Just made your Carbonera and it was better than any restaurant I've ever had! I'm a hero to my wife!

I would really like to see how to clean the cooking board to stay in such a great shape. Just water and some soap doesn't usually cut it
I'd scrub mine with salt, as for cleaning, and oil with coconut oil sometimes
Kuba Gajda I scrub mine with salt too!
You also need to treat the board every few weeks. I use mineral oil.
