Sweet potato gnocchi
Let’s talk about gnocchi. What is gnocchi, you might ask. Very good question. It’s a dumpling that is sometimes made with potato
And yesterday as I was doing the work thing, I thought to myself “My goodness, pasta sounds delicious. Sweet potato also sounds delicious.” So I was all like, “Yo, why not make some sweet potato gnocchi? It’s practically pasta.” So I looked around a bit and settled with this recipe
This morning/afternoon I got to making ((I had nachos for dinner last night. Not quite as tasty, but I was tired lazy))
Tbh, the only reason I took pictures was to show off my new measuring cups. “Whaaaaat?” you say. “Those adorable matryoshka dolls are measuring cups???” You can bet your fine, sweet ass they are
Whoever came up with that recipe does not know sweet potatoes. Microwave them? No. You steam those sweet little babies. Sure, it takes a bit more work with the peeling and dicing, but they are infinitely tastier
So beautiful, so vibrant, so delicious. And you’ll want to steam your little bad boys for 10-15 minutes or until wonderfully tender
And then you mix it all together
By hand or with a mixer. Whatever you feel, yo
Then add the flour
Beautiful~
Now the recipe doesn’t say to, but I would recommend letting the dough rest for a bit, just to give the flour some time to absorb that moisture
Roll it out
Cut it up
Important thing: keep your work space verrrryyyyy lightly floured. Practically no flour. There’s just a bit to keep the dough from adhering to the surface. Too much flour makes it difficult to roll and indent properly
And now get ready to indent~
Most people will tell you to do it like this:
I find it easier to do this:
with the fork flipped the other way ((it’s harder to photograph doing, however))
Then cook in some gently boiling water and eat~
Rather than the brown butter sauce, I made some tomato sauce and a sauted spinach salad to fool myself into believing this is healthy
P.S. I halved this recipe, and it still made a hellva lot
P.P.S. If you like some spice, add some cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the dough
