     Crispy Gnocchi with Basil Pesto

Category   Entrees - Maindishes
Sub Category   None
Preptime   1 hour

Ingredients
2 large russet potatoes
2 eggs
2/3 cup flour
1 cup basil
2 tbsp toasted pine nuts
2 tbsp freshly grated parmesan
garlic
kosher salt
olive oil
 
black pepper

Instructions
Cook potatoes in microwave for approximately 8 minutes. Open potatoes and remove skin. Push potatoes through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl to remove moisture. Let sit for ~15 minutes to cool. Pour in two beaten eggs. Add 2/3 cup flour and mix until it reaches dough- like consistency. Separate dough into about 5 chunks and roll into 1/2 inch thick logs and then cut into 1/2 inch pieces. Roll each piece on the back of a fork to make ridges. Bring a salted pot of water to a boil and add gnocchi. When they rise to the surface, take them out and saute them in a preheated pan with oil until brown.
For pesto sauce, use a mortar & pestle to combine basil, garlic, pine nuts, oil, pepper, and cheese until smooth. Pour sauce over pasta and top with more parmesan. You may also include meat such as pancetta, prosciutto, or chicken.
