Chocolate Gnocchi
Category: First dish
Nb persons: 4
1 kg potatoes - (a floured quality)
1 sprig rosemary
200 g flour - all purpose
100 g bitter cocoa
2 eggs
1/2 nutmeg - grated
salt - for the water
1tsp oil - for the water
Gorgonzola sauce:
400 g gorgonzola cheese - sweet
200 ml milk
1 hot chili pepper
4 tufts parsley - for garnishing
Boil potatoes with skin till they are soft. When they are ready, drain, peel
and mush them on a pastryboard with the proper tool.
Let them cool for about 10 minutes, then add cocoa, flour (a little at a
time) , eggs and nutmeg. Kneed till you obtain a smooth dough (not a sticky
dough). Flour the pastry board. Then cut from the ball some pieces of dough
at a time and make with these some long cilinders (I call them "long
snakes"😉 0.8in thick , which you will roll over the floured pastryboard.
Then cut the snakes into little rectangules 1 inch long.
Roll these gnocchi over the gnocchi board or over a fork and put them over a
tray.
Put a big pan of salted water on the fire and when it boil put your gnocchi
inside. They are ready when they come on the surface (few minutes).
While you are waiting for the boiling water, prepare your cheese sauce.
Cut gorgonzola in little pieces. Put it inside a saucepan togheter with milk
and minced hot chili pepper (if it is too hot, you can throw away seeds);
let the sauce on a low fire till the cheese is liquefied.
When gnocchi are ready, put them in the saucepan with cheese and mix well.
Serve in dishes with parsley leaves over.
Note: You can make your favourite sauce with other cheese or with whatever
you want. I would try with pears and cheese or strawberry and cheese.
Have a good meal
