Gnocchi di Castagne
(Chestnut Gnocchi)
Ingredients:
1 lb (450 grams) chestnut flour
1/2 lb (250 grams) white flour
1/4 lb (100 grams) seasoned Pecorino cheese
8 spoons of extra virgin olive oil
Warm water
Salt
Directions:
Create a flour 'mountain' with the two flours and mix well. Begin creating the gnocchi paste with the use of the warm water.
Add salt (not too much) until the mixture has formed an even, pliable texture.
Roll the pastry into a medium thick circle and let it slightly dry.
Cut the pastry into 1.5 inch (4 cm) squares and sprinkle each with flour.
In a pot with a generous amount of boiling salted water, add and cook the gnocchi for 10 minutes.
Drain and 'dress' the cooked gnocchi with olive oil and grated cheese. Serves 4.
