How to make easy gnocchi with tomato sauce:
- The first step to prepare these quick and easy potato gnocchi is to wash the unpeeled potatoesand pierce them with a fork or knife in several parts.
- Try to wash them very well and after puncturing them, wrap each one of them in transparent film paper.
- Place the already wrapped potatoes in the microwave and cook at maximum power for about 10 minutes.
- When the first 6 minutes have passed, place a cup with 4 whole garlic cloves, unpeeled, with a little water in the center of the microwave plate and finish cooking.
- Separately, place a splash of oil in a wide frying pan and fry the ripe tomatoes, previously finely chopped, along with the other two garlic cloves, also finely chopped.
- When you see that the tomato begins to fall apart, add a little hot water to form a sauce. Stir and leave on low heat, adding more water when necessary.
- We return to the potatoes.
- Check that they are done and let them rest until they come to room temperature, then grind without peeling themwith the help of the usual tool until you get a puree.
- Add the flour to the puree and mix until you get dough.
- If you want to calculate the exact amount of flour that the recipe needs, weigh the mashed potato and add 30% of its weight in flour.
- For example, if 300g of puree you will need 90g of flour.
- In my case, 362g of puree has come out, so I have used 109g of flour.
- Next, form the gnocchi by making ballsof dough, to do this, work with slightly damp hands.
- It is important to keep in mind that the potato gnocchi dough should not be over-kneaded, since the potato can release a lot of water.
- To continue with the sauce, cut the cherry tomatoes in half and add them to the preparation.
- Peel the 4 garlic that were used in the microwave and add them to the pan, dividing each one into 4.
- Next, check that there is enough water in the pan and add the potato gnocchi.
- Season to taste with a little salt, pepper and fresh basil. Let everything cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes.
- Go stirring the preparation with the help of a wooden spoon, with smooth movements from the bottom of the pan and check that the gnocchi are firm and do not taste like flour
- Serve this vegan dish for a healthy and delicious meal.
- Decorate the gnocchi with tomato saucewith a little fresh basil, cumin seeds and bon appetite.
