Where to find ingredients
Potatoes, flour, onions, and meat are available at local markets and grocery stores. For bouillon cubes, any standard kitchen pantry supply works. Grated cheese options include parmesan or similar hard grating cheeses found in local dairy aisles.
Preparation method
- Boil the potatoes in water until tender.
- Peel the potatoes and pass them through a ricer or masher while still hot.
- Gradually add the wheat flour and salt, kneading well until a homogeneous dough is formed.
- Place the dough on a floured surface and roll it into long ropes.
- Cut each rope into pieces approximately 2 cm long.
- In a large pot, bring plenty of salted water to a boil.
- Once boiling, add the gnocchi in batches, waiting for them to rise to the surface.
- Prepare a bowl with cold water and a colander. Remove the cooked gnocchi with a slotted spoon and place them in the colander for a thermal shock.
- Repeat the process until all the dough is cooked.
- Drain the gnocchi well and set aside in a baking dish.
- Finely chop the onion and sauté in a pan with olive oil.
- Add the ground beef and the beef bouillon cubes to the sauté.
- Stir well and, once the meat is cooked, add the tomato sauce.
- Let the sauce simmer for 4 minutes.
- Pour the meat sauce over the reserved gnocchi.
- Sprinkle with grated cheese.
- Place in the oven to gratinate.
- Serve hot.
