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.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste, but it was still very good. I think I would use less salt next time.

The gnocchi were a bit too soft for my liking, but the mascarpone and lemon sauce was delicious. I think I would try cooking the gnocchi for a little less time next time.

I made this dish for a dinner party and it was a hit! Everyone loved the unique flavor combination of the mascarpone and lemon. The gnocchi were also cooked perfectly - they were soft and pillowy on the inside and slightly crispy on the outside.
