Where to find ingredients
You can find all fresh produce, dairy, and pantry staples like flour and cornstarch at local markets or convenience stores across Palau. If you cannot find specific items, regular cheddar can be used as a substitute for mozzarella, and any good quality jarred pasta sauce works perfectly.
Preparation method
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, all-purpose flour, cornstarch, margarine, grated parmesan, eggs, and baking powder.
- Gradually add the milk, mixing until the dough is smooth and creamy; note that the amount of milk may vary depending on the potato moisture.
- Grease a baking dish with butter or margarine.
- Spread half of the gnocchi mixture across the bottom of the prepared dish.
- Cover the dough layer with a portion of the tomato sauce.
- Distribute the chopped or sliced ham evenly over the sauce.
- Place the mozzarella slices or pieces over the ham.
- Repeat the layering process: spread the remaining gnocchi dough, followed by more tomato sauce, ham, and mozzarella.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted and golden brown.
