use Mom's secret tomato sauce Ingredients:
2 large baking potatoes |
1 cup unbleached flour |
2 tablespoons dried basil |
2 tablespoons dried oregano |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder |
14 ounces tomato sauce |
Directions:
1. 1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Scrub the potatoes and poke all over with a fork. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 1 hour. Remove the potatoes and peel the skin off. Mash the potatoes in a bowl until there are as few lumps as possible.
2. 2. In another bowl, add the flour and seasonings, mix, and make a well in the center. Add the potatoes and slowly mix together to form a smooth dough. Add more flour if needed.
3. 3. Dust a work surface with more flour, take sections of the dough, and roll out into a 1/2 inch thick rope. Cut the rope into 3/4 inch long pieces. Take each piece and pinch the ends to form an oval ball, and roll with the tines of a fork to get a striped design on one side.
4. 4. In batches, drop the gnocchi into heavily salted boiling water and scoop out with a slotted spoon after they rise to the surface. Keep warm in a bowl in the oven.
5. 5. Meanwhile, heat the tomato sauce.
6. 6. Pour the sauce over the gnocchi, toss and serve.
