Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups starchy potatoes (Russet), peeled and diced
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 can (28 oz) whole peeled tomatoes
- 8 oz fresh mozzarella cheese, cubed
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
Instructions
- Boil the diced potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly before peeling.
- In a large bowl, mash the potatoes until smooth. Mix in the egg and salt. Gradually add flour until a soft dough forms; avoid overmixing.
- Roll portions of dough into ropes about ¾ inch thick and cut into bite-sized pieces. Press each piece gently with a fork to shape.
- In salted boiling water, cook gnocchi until they float (about 2-3 minutes). Remove with a slotted spoon.
- In a pan over medium heat, sauté garlic in olive oil for about 1 minute. Add canned tomatoes, salt, and pepper; simmer until thickened.
- Layer cooked gnocchi in an oven-safe dish with tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 20 minutes until bubbly.
- Garnish with fresh basil before serving.
