Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Time 48m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup mascarpone, at room temperature (8 ounces)
1 large egg, at room temperature
1 large egg yolk, at room temperature
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 large lemons, zested
1 cup grated Parmesan (4 ounces)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 cup all-purpose flour, plus extra for forming the gnocchi
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
1/2 cup grated Parmesan, for serving

Steps:

  • For the gnocchi: In a large bowl, combine the mascarpone, egg, egg yolk, nutmeg, lemon zest, Parmesan, and salt. Using a hand mixer, beat on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Gradually beat in 3/4 cup flour until the mixture forms a soft dough.
  • Sprinkle a pie pan or rimmed baking sheet with flour. Using 2 small spoons, drop 1 teaspoon-sized pieces of dough into the pie pan. Shake the pan gently to cover the dough with flour. Gently roll the pieces of dough into oval shapes.
  • Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a simmer. In batches, carefully add the gnocchi. The gnocchi should sink and then float to the top. As soon as the gnocchi begin to float, cook for 5 to 6 minutes. Drain and place in a large serving bowl.
  • For the sauce: In a small saucepan, warm the oil and salt over medium-high heat for 1 1/2 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the basil. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
  • Add the sauce and cheese to the gnocchi and gently toss until coated.

BUTTERNUT MASCARPONE GNOCCHI



Butternut Mascarpone Gnocchi image

When I tell people I don't like gnocchi, I always have to clarify that I'm talking about the traditional, potato-dough style dumplings, and not the much easier and lighter, cheese-based versions, like this one featuring butternut squash and mascarpone cheese. Prepare your palate for some incredibly light, tender, and delicious gnocchi.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Dumpling Recipes

Time 9h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound butternut squash
1 cup mascarpone cheese
½ cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
2 large eggs
1 ½ teaspoons salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour, divided
½ cup unsalted butter
1 pinch cayenne pepper
salt and ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup thinly sliced fresh sage leaves
1 tablespoon finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

Steps:

  • Trim stem and cut butternut squash in half lengthwise. Place in a microwave-safe dish, cover with plastic wrap, and microwave until tender, about 8 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to cool. Discard skin and set squash aside.
  • Whisk mascarpone cheese, 1/2 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, eggs, salt, and black pepper in a bowl until smooth. Whisk in butternut squash until blended.
  • Whisk in 1/2 cup flour until just incorporated. Whisk in remaining 1/2 cup flour, stirring until flour just disappears. Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Melt about 1/3 of the butter in large nonstick skillet; remove from heat.
  • Scoop out approximately 1 1/2 teaspoons of the butternut squash dough with a spoon. Using a second spoon, push the dough off the first spoon and into the boiling water. Repeat with remaining dough, working in batches of 12 to 15 gnocchi at a time. When a gnocchi rise to the surface, cook for 1 additional minute, then transfer with a slotted spoon to the melted butter in the skillet.
  • Place the skillet over medium-high heat; cook gnocchi until golden brown on one side, about 3 minutes. Season with cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Turn gnocchi over and stir in sage leaves. Cook until second side is golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to plate and drizzle with browned butter from the skillet. Garnish with 1 tablespoon Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and serve.

MOOSEWOOD'S SPINACH GNOCCHI



Moosewood's Spinach Gnocchi image

From Moosewood Restaurant New Classics: A Casserole-style dish that is simple to throw together when you've got everything on hand. I substituted about half a big bag of frozen spinach for the fresh, and it came out gorgeously! You can substitute 3 cups store-bought tomato sauce for the homemade, but it's so much better from scratch and still so quick! Serve alone with tomato sauce, or in a brothy soup.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 55m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

10 ounces fresh spinach
3 large eggs
1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1 1/4 cups breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
1/3 cup scallion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pinch ground nutmeg (to taste)
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 cup onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt (to taste)
3 cups canned tomatoes with juice, chopped (28-ounce can)
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • To make the sauce:.
  • Warm the oil in a nonreactive 2-quart saucepan. Add the onions, garlic, and salt and sauté on medium heat for about 7 minutes until golden. Add the tomatoes, their juice, and the pepper and bring to a simmer. Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • To make the gnocchi:.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F Oil a nonreactive baking dish.
  • Rinse the spinach well and remove any large stems. Place the spinach in a large pot with only the water that clings to the leaves. Cover and cook on high heat, stirring once or twice, just long enough to wilt the leaves, about 3 minutes. Set aside to drain.
  • In a large bowl, beat the eggs. Mix in the Parmesan, ricotta, bread crumbs, basil, scallions, garlic, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. When the cooked spinach is cool enough to handle, gently squeeze more water from it and chop it. Stir the chopped spinach into the cheese mixture. The batter will be wet and rather soft. Drop the batter by rounded tablespoonfuls onto the prepared baking dish to make about 18 balls. Pour the tomato sauce around the gnocchi to almost cover.
  • Bake for about 25 minutes, until firm and beginning to brown. Serve hot with the tomato sauce ladled on top.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Gather and prepare all ingredients before starting to cook.

  • Cook the gnocchi properly: Gnocchi should be cooked until they float to the top of the water and are tender but still slightly firm.
  • Make the mascarpone sauce ahead of time: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve the dish immediately: Gnocchi is best served hot and fresh.

Conclusion:
