The Secret to Perfect Gnocchi (Gnocchi alla Sorrentina Recipe)

Gnocchi alla Sorrentina is a dish with origins in Sorrento, Italy - a charming coastal town located near the Amalfi coast and Naples. I have tweaked the recipe slightly, using my ricotta gnocchi for the dish instead of traditional potato ones and it takes this to a new level! Layered with love, the ricotta gnocchi are smothered in a decadent sauce, creating a delightful union of flavors. But what truly makes this dish a masterpiece is the generous amount of creamy Buffalo Mozzarella, and I used the Best from Vannella Cheese. 💯 Follow this link to read and print the written recipe: https://www.vincenzosplate.com/gnocchi-alla-sorrentina/ #gnocchi #pasta #vincenzosplate =============================================== INGREDIENTS: For Ricotta Gnocchi 500 grams Vannella Cheese Ricotta 18 oz 300 grams 00 Flour 11 oz. Or all-purpose flour 4 ½ tablespoons Pecorino cheese 1 egg For Tomato Sauce 1 bottle of passata crushed strained tomatoes Buffalo mozzarella from Vannella Cheese 2 garlic cloves Onion Optional Extra virgin olive oil EVOO Salt and pepper METHOD: To Make Ricotta Gnocchi 1. Put the ricotta in a bowl and gently mash it with a fork. Once the ricotta breaks, strain it into your flour and mix. Add pecorino cheese and mix everything. Add the egg, whisk it in the ingredients, and use your hands to combine everything to make the dough. Knead the dough with one hand for 10 minutes to form a pliable ball. Transfer it to a chopping board. 2. Dust your chopping board with flour and proceed with working with the dough in a press-and-fold manner like you knead pizza dough, ensuring you do not overwork or press it too hard. Finish the kneading by rolling the dough on your cutting board over the flour and ricotta bits. 3. Cover the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest in the fridge for about 10 minutes to hold its shape and not crumble. 4. Dust your chopping board with flour, and gently press the dough from the middle to the top with a rolling pin. Turn it, roll it again, and keep pressing gently while adding flour to avoid sticking until the dough turns into a thick flatbread shape. 5. Take a sharp knife and cut the flattened dough into long strips, ideally 1-inch wide. Sprinkle the chopping board with a little more flour and roll all the dough strips into thin logs about finger thickness. Slice the ropes crosswise into ¾-inch diagonal shapes with a dough scraper. Toss the pieces lightly in flour to prevent sticking or clumping together. Toss the Ricotta Gnocchi in a large tray lined with a baking sheet and place in the fridge. To Make the Tomato Sauce 1. Heat a cast iron skillet over low heat and add EVOO and crushed garlic, followed by a splash of water. Once the garlic bubbles, add the passata. 2. Add salt and pepper and cook the sauce on a low flame for at least 10 minutes (20 minutes at most) and set it aside.
