Truffle gnocchi is a luxurious pasta dish that combines tender homemade gnocchi with rich truffle sauce. The combination of flavors creates a decadent meal that is perfect for special occasions or romantic dinners.
To prepare truffle gnocchi, you will need the following ingredients:
– 1 pound russet potatoes
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 6 oz. fresh truffles or truffle oil (optional)
Here is a step-by-step recipe to cook truffle gnocchi:
1. Wash the potatoes and pierce them with a fork in several places. Cook the potatoes in boiling water until they are tender, about 20-30 minutes. Drain the potatoes and allow them to cool for a few minutes.
2. Peel the potatoes and pass them through a potato ricer or mash them until they are smooth. Add the flour and salt to the mashed potatoes and mix well. Knead the dough until it comes together, then divide it into 4 equal parts. Roll each part into a rope about 1 inch in diameter, then cut the ropes into 1-inch pieces.
3. 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. Remove the gnocchi with a slotted spoon and set aside.
4. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant. Add the heavy cream and simmer until it thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and truffles (if using).
5. Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet and toss to coat with the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until heated through.
6. Serve the truffle gnocchi immediately, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and fresh truffles (if desired). Enjoy your luxurious and delicious meal!
Note: If you are unable to find fresh truffles, you can use truffle oil as a substitute. However, be cautious not to add too much, as it can overpower the dish. Start with 1 tablespoon of truffle oil and adjust to taste.
