For the Arrabbiata Sauce:
- ¼ cup of olive oil
- 1 peeled and small diced yellow onion
- 5 finely minced cloves of garlic
- 1 tablespoons of crushed red pepper flakes
- ¼ cup of tomato paste
- 6 small diced Roma tomatoes
- 1 cup of small diced cherry tomatoes
- 3 small diced vine ripe tomatoes
- sea salt to taste
- parmesan cheese for garnish
- fresh basil for garnish
For the Gnocchi:
- 5 peeled baked potatoes mashed
- 3 whisked eggs
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- sea salt to taste
- 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter
Instructions
- Arrabbiata Sauce: Add the olive oil to a medium-size pot over medium heat and lightly roast the onions, garlic and red pepper flakes, about 5 to 6 minutes.
- Next, stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2 to 3 minutes before adding in the tomatoes. Stew for at least 15 minutes or up to 90 minutes.
- Finish with salt and garnish with parmesan cheese and basil. Keep warm.
- Gnocchi: Combine the potatoes with eggs, flour, and salt until combined and knead on a clean surface dusted with flour for 1 minute.
- Take a handful of the dough and roll it out until it is about a 1/2” diameter and resembles a rope.
- Using a bench knife cut down the rope into ¾” pieces.
- Roll each piece on a gnocchi board or press them down using the back of a fork.
- Cook the gnocchi in a large pot of boiling salted water until they float, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- While the gnocchi is boiling add some butter to a large sauté pan over high heat until melted and lightly smoking.
- Once the gnocchi is floating transfer them to the pan with butter and saute for 2 to 3 minutes or until browned.
- Add the arrabbiata sauce over top of the gnocchi and serve with parmesan cheese and basil garnishes.
