Gnocchi Tossed in creamy sauce

This is such a beautiful pasta dish that u will simply love just a bite its so soft and amazing to taste that u ll love it ...I have made gnocchi from scratch here...they are easily available in super markets if u in short of time ..but I think u all would agree to me when I say that home made tastes simply best...so try this and leave in Ur feedback :)

Ingredients

For Gnocchi

3 med sized Potato (boiled and finely grated)

2 tbsp Maida / Plain Flour

1 tbsp Butter

1 tbsp Fresh Coriander

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp Red Chilli Flakes

For sauce

1/4 cup Cream

1/4 cup milk

1/2 tsp butter

1/2 tsp maida

1 tsp Red Chilli flakes

1 Tomato (finely chopped)

Salt to taste

1 tbsp finely chopped Coriander (Garnish)

Method


For Gnocchi
  • Boil potatoes and finely grate the potatoes when its cools down. Add butter, maida, salt,  chili flakes , coriander and mix well and knead  well for 2-3 Min's.
  • Lightly dust the the working surface with maida.
  • Take small balls from dough and flatten it in the center with the help of the thumb to get a slight depression.
  • Boil water and add salt to it add prepared gnocchi carefully, Let it float on the top of the water then drain and keep it aside.(Be careful while draining it, I  feel handy to drain it using spoon in small bathes rater then in a stainer.
For sauce
  • Mix maida and milk together.
  • Heat 1/2 tsp butter add milk(mixed with maida), cream, red chili flakes and bring it to a boil then add tomatoes and bring to a boil till it thickens little and u can feel the creamy velvety texture. Add salt .
For serving
  • Arrange 7-8 Gnocchi in plate and pour sauce over it and garnish with coriander leaves ...serve I am sure u'll love it ...hmmmmmm it just melts in Ur mouth :D

  28. Just today I held a packet of gnocchi and was wondering if I should try it out. Then good sense prevailed and I decided to first research the recipe and then buy it. I am glad I did not buy it. Will make it. This is new to me as you have already gathered. Thanks.

  49. I made this and it was soft and really did melt in the mouth. But had it with a sauce made from a ready mix. It was slightly heavy but nevertheless very tasty. Thank you for a great recipe.
