Directions:
Potato Gnocchi
- Peel potato and rice in a ricer or use food mill with small hole. Combine flour and pannigiano, salt and pepper in a bowl. Add riced potatoes, eggs and saffron water and mix until the ingredients are just combined (do not over-mix as mixture will become tough and gummy).
- Take 1/6 of gnocchi mixture and roll into a roll the size of a roll of dimes. Cut a gnocchi every 3/4" with a sharp knife. Dimple the gnocchi slightly with your finger and place on a tray. Repeat the process until all the gnocchi mixture is gone.
- To cook, boil 6 quarts of water with salt and place gnocchi in water. When they float, remove and drain.
Gnocchi Sauce
- Saute tomatoes and garlic in olive oil, salt and pepper for 2 minutes. Add shrimp and chili flakes and cook until the shrimp are almost done (1-2 minutes). Add wine, shrimp stock and parsley and reduced by half. When done, add butter. Toss in gnocchi and serve.
