Course : Italian
From: HungryMonster.com
Serves: 8
 

Ingredients:

2 pounds baking potatoes
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 whole egg plus
1 large egg yolk -- lightly beaten together
2 tablespoons unsalted butter -- softened
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese -- to taste
1 can tomato sauce
 

Preparation:

(Anna Teresa Callan's "Menus for Pasta") Boil the potatoes in their jackets, drain, peel and put through a ricer or food mill. While the potatoes are still warm, blend in the flour, add the egg, egg yolk, butter and salt. Place the potato mixture on a floured board and knead lightly; the dough will be soft. Roll the dough in 1" thick sticks about 10" long. Cut each roll into 3/4" pieces. Rub each pieces of dough lightly over the coarse side of a cheese grater. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the gnocchi until they rise to the top of the water. Using a slotted spoon, remove the gnocchi to a warm bowl. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, top with tomato sauce and serve at once
