Where to find ingredients
Find fresh produce and dairy products at local supermarkets or butcher shops. If Parmesan is unavailable, Pecorino Romano serves as a suitable substitute; for mozzarella, any high-moisture melting cow's milk cheese works well.
Preparation method
- In a large bowl, mix the mashed potatoes, wheat flour, cornstarch, margarine, grated Parmesan cheese, eggs, and baking powder.
- Add the milk gradually, mixing until you obtain a homogeneous and creamy dough. The amount of milk may vary depending on the potato's moisture.
- Grease a baking dish or tray with butter or margarine.
- Spread half of the gnocchi dough on the bottom of the prepared dish.
- Cover the dough with a layer of tomato sauce.
- Distribute the chopped or sliced ham over the sauce.
- Place the mozzarella slices or pieces over the ham.
- Repeat the layers: spread the rest of the gnocchi dough, followed by more tomato sauce, ham, and mozzarella.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C until the cheese is completely melted and golden brown, about 20 to 25 minutes.
