Prepare the Gnocchi: In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, flour, egg, Parmesan cheese, salt, and nutmeg. Mix until a dough forms.
Knead the Dough: Lightly flour a clean surface and knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Shape the Gnocchi: Roll the dough into long ropes about 1 inch thick. Cut the ropes into 1-inch pieces. Optionally, roll each piece over a gnocchi board or fork to create ridges.
Cook the Gnocchi: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
Prepare the Tomato Sauce: While the gnocchi are cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, basil, salt, and pepper.
Combine: Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet with the tomato sauce. Toss gently to coat.
Serve: Serve immediately, garnished with fresh basil leaves and grated Parmesan cheese.
Easy to follow and tasty! I added some sausage to the sauce for extra protein. Delicious!
This recipe is a winner! I made it for a dinner party, and everyone loved it. It was the perfect blend of flavors.
The recipe was easy enough but I prefer a chunkier sauce. The gnocchi were good though.
This is the best gnocchi recipe ever! Simple to make, and the taste is incredible! Will be making this all the time now.
It was a pretty good meal. The sauce could use a little more seasoning, maybe salt and pepper. The gnocchi was cooked fine.
