Caprese Gnocchi

This Caprese Gnocchi is such a great Italian dish. Who doesn’t love caprese right? The combination of tomato, basil and fresh cheese is unbeatable. It’s so fresh and delicious – I am transported to Italy immediately once I taste it. In this recipe I swap the traditional mozzarella for burrata which has an outer shell that resembles mozzarella, while the inside has a creamy, soft texture.

To make this, start by preparing the gnocchi in the traditional Italian way. Once the gnocchi pieces are made, cook them in a large pan of salted boiling water. Meanwhile sauté cherry tomatoes in butter and add the gnocchi pieces and grated parmesan cheese. To serve, place the gnocchi and tomatoes on a serving platter and top with burrata cheese and fresh basil leaves. Unbeatable!

Steps to make Caprese Gnocchi

Heat the oven and prepare potatoes

Preheat the oven to 400 °F and prick holes in the skin of two potatoes.

2

Bake the potatoes

3

Peel and rice the potatoes

3

Peel the potatoes. Using a ricer, rice them onto a clean work surface.

Make a well

Make a well in the center of the riced potato. Place 2 egg yolks, ½ a cup of grated cheese, salt, pepper, and ½ of the flour into the well. Sprinkle the remaining flour over the pile.

5

Bring dough together

3

Beat the egg mixture in the well with a fork. As you mix it, bring in more and more of the potato and flour from the sides. into the mixture and you mix. Once an uneven dough forms, use your hands to gently knead the dough to make a smooth ball. Add more flour if needed and make sure not to overwork the dough.

6

Add remaining gnocchi ingredients

6

Dust a work surface lightly with flour. Divide the dough ball into 8 even pieces. Cover all but one of the pieces with a damp kitchen towel. Roll the reserved piece into an 18 inch long string (about ½ an inch thick) and cut it into 20 equal pieces of gnocchi. Press down on each one down with a fork to leave indents. Repeat the process with the remaining dough.

Chill the gnocchi

1h

Place the gnocchi onto two lightly floured baking sheets, lined with parchment paper. Cover the baking sheets with damp paper towels or a kitchen towel and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

Cook the gnocchi in batches in salted boiling water. Remove them as soon as they float to the top.

Cook the tomatoes

Add the gnocchi

Obsessed with the flavors in this, just the right amount of spice and not too dry or juicy I even added a bit of ground beef to the dish too.
