Where to find ingredients
Fresh corn, milk, flour, eggs, and Parmesan cheese can be found at most grocery stores and supermarkets.
Method
- Wash the corn cobs thoroughly and remove all silk
- Cut the kernels off the cobs using a knife and set aside in a bowl
- Place the corn kernels and milk in a blender
- Blend the mixture well
- Add the all-purpose flour to the blender
- Blend again to incorporate
- Pass the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the fibrous pulp
- Transfer the liquid to a saucepan and place over low heat
- Stir constantly until thickened to prevent lumps from forming
- Transfer the cream to an oven-safe dish and let it cool completely
- Mix the egg yolk into the cooled dough
- Knead the dough with lightly floured hands
- Shape the dough into long cylinders on a lightly floured surface
- Cut the cylinders into small pieces, the traditional gnocchi size
- Cook the pieces in boiling water until they float to the surface
- Remove the gnocchi from the water and arrange in a serving dish
- Cover with your preferred sauce
- Finish by sprinkling grated Parmesan cheese over the top
- Bake in the oven just long enough to melt and brown the cheese
Notes
This recipe uses fresh corn to create a light and delicious dough. The secret lies in constant stirring to achieve the ideal dough consistency before shaping and finishing in the oven.
