Prep time: 50 minutesCook time: 3 hoursServes: 4
Ingredients
2 medium sweet potatoes
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 large egg
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
2 tbsp fresh chopped basil
2 tbsp fresh chopped parsley
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup pine nuts
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Roast sweet potatoes for 45 minutes until tender.
2. Once cool, peel the sweet potatoes and mash them in a bowl.
3. Combine mashed sweet potatoes with flour, Parmesan cheese, egg, salt, and nutmeg. Mix until a dough forms.
4. On a floured surface, divide dough into four parts and roll each into a long rope about 1/2 inch in diameter.
5. Cut each rope into 1-inch pieces and press lightly with a fork to create ridges.
6. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add gnocchi in batches and cook until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon.
7. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add pine nuts and sauté until golden brown.
8. Add cooked gnocchi to the skillet, sprinkle with basil and parsley, and toss gently to coat.
9. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then serve warm.
