Gnocchi recipes - 5 recipes

By Gitanjali Roche

Gnocchi, contrary to popular belief, are not actually pasta! Gnocchi are basically mashed potatoes mixed with flour and then rolled and cut into fluffy little potato pillows, and then boiled. A staple of Italian cuisine, gnocchi are served and eaten just like pasta; you can simply butter them and add freshly grated Parmesan, or bathe them in a delicious, rich pasta sauce. From my own gnocchi making attempts, the best advice I can give you is to not overcook them; the moment they start floating to the top of a pot of boiling water is the moment that they need to come out, and not one second later! Homemade gnocchi are a great way to get initiated into making fresh pasta at home, as they're relatively easier to make and are less time consuming than other types of pasta.

VIDEO: Chocolate Soufflé in a Mug

Make this delicious, melt-in-your-mouth chocolate soufflé for you and two friends!

Ingredients

  • 3 mugs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 cup chocolate chunks or chips
  • 4 eggs
  • Salt
  • Butter
  • Brown sugar

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Set your stove on a low heat setting.
  3. In a sauce pan, add the milk, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and salt. Mix well over low heat.
  4. Once the mixture thickens to a doughy texture, remove from the heat.
  5. Add chocolate chunks and stir thoroughly.
  6. Separate the egg yolks and egg whites into two separate bowls.
  7. Add the egg yolks to the chocolate mixture. Stir thoroughly.
  8. In a mixing bowl, beat the egg whites into stiff peaks.
  9. Add the whipped egg whites to the batter and gently fold them in.
  10. Using a cube of butter in your fingers, line the mugs with a coat of butter, then top with a coat of brown sugar. Tilt and shake the mug until the sugar sticks to the butter in a consistent layer all over the inside of the cup.
  11. Pour the batter equally into each of the 3 cups.
  12. Put the cups on a baking tray and place in the oven for 20 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
  13. Serve and enjoy!
