Preparation method
- Bake the potatoes on salt in the oven at 200°C for 30 to 40 minutes. The cooking time depends on the size of the potatoes.
- Remove the potato skins.
- Push the potatoes through a potato ricer or sieve.
- Measure 500g of the purée.
- Very briefly blanch the rocket and plunge it into iced water.
- Remove the rocket from the water and pat dry thoroughly.
- Finely chop the rocket.
- Mix all the ingredients, except for the rocket using a butterfly whisk attachment.
- Add the chopped rocket.
- Sprinkle a little pasta flour onto the working surface to roll the dough into small balls. The flour will prevent the dough from sticking.
- Divide the balls into the desired number of pieces.
- Shape these into small balls and roll carefully over a gnocchi board.
- Boil the gnocchi in water until they rise to the surface.
