Homemade gnocchi with mushroom sauce

Step 1

Boil potatoes in salted, boiling water for approx. 20 - 30 min., according to size. Drain and peel.

Step 2

Mash potatoes with a potato masher. Add egg yolks, nutmeg, salt, and pepper and continue to mash until ingredients are well-incorporated.

Step 3

Gradually work in the flour and knead into a smooth dough.

Step 4

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface. Make long rolls out of the dough. Using a knife, cut dough into large pieces approx 1cm x 2cm large. Roll these pieces over a fork to create the traditional gnocchi appearance.

Step 5

Cook gnocchi in salted, boiling water. Meanwhile, quarter mushrooms and fry with some butter. Next, transfer the cooked gnocchi into the pan and fry with the mushrooms.

Step 6

Cut dried tomatoes into strips and add to the pan. Pour the cream in and boil down to a velvety, smooth sauce. Season generously with salt and pepper.

Step 7

Now add the pine nuts and the arugula. Toss the gnocchi briefly and serve immediately.
