Cooking time

Ingredients
4 Servings
- 150 grams all-purpose flour
- 5 basil leaves
- 400 grams canned tomatoes
- 1 egg
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 50 grams parmesan cheese
- 500 grams potatoes
- 1 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Boil the potatoes in a large pot of salted water until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
Step 2
Peel the potatoes and pass them through a potato ricer into a large bowl. Let them cool completely.
Step 3
Add the flour, egg, and salt to the potatoes and mix well until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add more flour as needed.
Step 4
On a floured surface, divide the dough into small portions and roll each portion into a long rope about 1 cm thick. Cut the ropes into 2 cm pieces to form the gnocchi.
Step 5
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi in batches and cook until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Step 6
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 7
Add the canned tomatoes and cook until the sauce thickens, about 10-15 minutes. Season with salt to taste.
Step 8
Add the cooked gnocchi to the tomato sauce and toss to coat. Serve with chopped basil leaves and grated parmesan cheese on top.
