    SERVES 6

    INGREDIENTS

    • 6 pounds potatoes
    • 2 cups flour
    • 2 eggs
    • 4 pounds plum tomatoes, diced
    • 2 ounces fresh basil, cut julienne
    • 1 tablespoons chopped garlic
    • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
    • 2 tablespoons butter
    • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
    • Salt and pepper


    DIRECTIONS

    Scrub the potatoes and place them, unpeeled, in a large pot of boiling water (lightly salted). Cook for 45 minutes until tender but not overcooked. When cool, peel potatoes and mash. Add flour, eggs, salt and pepper. Roll dough into long thin rods, and cut into small pieces about 1-inch in length to form the dumplings. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil (add a touch of olive oil). Drop gnocchi in and cook for approximately 1 minute until they float to the top. Sauté garlic in olive oil over medium heat until golden brown. Add tomatoes and cook for 3 minutes then add gnocchi and top with basil, butter, parmesan cheese, salt and pepper.
