Gnoccoloni: The Potato Pasta That Surprised Masterchef Judges

This pasta masterpiece is the marriage of gnocchi and cannelloni – aptly named, GNOCCOLONI! Invented by 2018 Italian born (Australian) Masterchef contestant, Gina Ottaway, they are widely sought after and utterly delicious! Gina joined me in the kitchen to create these mezzaluna shaped morsels of pasta using the same ingredients as gnocchi, then stuffed them with a delectable ricotta and spinach filling which will melt in your mouth. You can't miss this pasta invention – it's an Italian dish recreated and it's EVERYTHING. #gnocchi #potatognocchi #cannelloni 📺SUBSCRIBE TO MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL (IT'S FREEEEEE ;-) http://bit.ly/SubscribeToMyYOUTUBEchannel 📖Share it with your FOODIE friends on FACEBOOK 🌍Get the recipe on my website https://www.vincenzosplate.com/recipe-items/gnoccoloni-recipe/ 🍝Check out my website for full recipes and to follow my blog: http://vincenzosplate.com/ Join my Sydney Cooking Classes: http://www.vincenzosplate.com/cooking-class-in-sydney/ 🔄Kg to cups converter: http://www.convertunits.com/from/kilo+g/to/cup+[US] GNOCCOLONI PASTA INGREDIENTS 4 large brush potatoes 4 garlic cloves Water – to boil the pasta & the potatoes 500g ricotta 500g spinach 2 x eggs Parmesan Cheese (as much or as little as you like!) 300-500g potatoes EVOO Sage Grapeseed oil 75-100g butter Salt and Pepper METHOD 1. Wash and peel the potatoes well, then cut them into even, medium size pieces and leave them to boil in a pan filled with water. 2. When the potatoes have come to a boil (you will normally see a foam start to form at the top of the water), use a fork and press it into one of the potatoes, to see if it is soft. If it goes through quickly and easily, take them straight off the boil and strain them well. NONNA GINA'S TIP: Once strained, leave the potatoes in the sieve, place this over the top of the pot (letting it rest on the brim), and cover it with the lid, leaving a small gap for air to escape. Leave this aside for 15-20 minutes. This will remove any excess moisture and make sure your potatoes are nice and fluffy. 3. Slice and chop the garlic cloves using a chopping board and sharp knife. 4. Put a fry pan on medium heat and add a generous amount of EVOO, then add the spinach straight on top and season with a few pinches of salt and pepper too. Leave this to cool on your chopping board and chop it up finely. 5. Scoop the ricotta into a large mixing bowl and crack an egg on top. Whisk this well and combine it into the mix as it will act as a binding agent for all the ingredients. 6. Then, add a generous portion of shredded mozzarella, a big handful of parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and mix again. 7. Finally, give the spinach one last chop, and add it into the bowl too, mixing it so that all the delicious flavours combine. 8. Scoop out all the mixture into a piping bag so it is easier to fill your Gnoccoloni! 9. Now, back to the potatoes! Remove the lid, and you will notice that some of the potatoes have a slightly white edge – this means they have steamed well. They should be lukewarm to touch. 10. Get 2 handfuls of plain flour and put them into the centre of the chopping board. Make a well in the middle and put the potatoes through the ricer, making sure not to waste one bit! 11. Once all the potatoes have been put through the ricer, make another well in the centre, crack an egg into the middle of it and start to blend all the ingredients together. 12. Gently knead the dough and if it feels sticky, add a small amount of flour at a time to get it to just the right consistency. Keep adding and kneading until you create a large "GNOCCO!" 13. Sprinkle some flour to the side of your board, and leave the dough to rest.
