Weight Watchers Home Made Gnocchi recipe
Makes 8 servings

Ingredients

• 1 kg (2.2 lbs) potatoes, weighed after peeling
• 3 eggs, at room temperature
• 40 g butter
• 20 g grated parmesan cheese
• 170 g all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon dried herbs, we used basil
• flour, to dust your counter
• cold water

Preparation

1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil to poach your gnocchi.
2. Choose potatoes of a similar size, and a pot just big enough to hold them so they don’t bump around.
3. Boil the potatoes in salted water until just cooked through, then mash very well with the butter.
4. Then gradually add the parmesan cheese, flour and herbs, mixing very well.
5. Then add the eggs (one at a time), mixing well with each addition.
6. Take about 1/4 of the mixture, place on your well floured counter and gradually work and roll it out to a long sausage.
7. When the dough sausage is about 3/4 inch diameter, cut it into 1 inch lengths.
8. Poach these pieces in the large pot of boiling water for about 2 minutes (until the gnocchi all float to the top).
9. Remove with a slotted spoon and plunge into the bowl of cold water.
10. Drain well.
11. Finally, repeat with the remaining mixture.
12. Serve gently reheated in the sauce of your choice for a few minutes.
13. The gnocchi will keep for a few days. You can freeze them in a single layer and reheat really well after defrosting.

One serving is approximately 170 grams.
