Ingredients

Makes 4 servings

  • 2 medium russet potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1/3 cup dry red wine
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
  • salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more if needed Fresh basil, for garnish (optional)

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 450°F

  3. In a large saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat

  5. Do not burn
  6. Stir in the tomatoes, wine, basil, oregano, 1 tablespoon of the parsley and salt and pepper to taste

  8. Keep warm over low heat
  9. To make the gnocchi, combine the flour and 1 teaspoon of salt in a large bowl
  10. Set aside
  11. While the baked potatoes are still hot, carefully cut them in half, scrape the insides into a separate large bowl and run them through a potato ricer or food mill to make them fluffy
  12. Place the riced potatoes in the center of the flour along with the remaining 1 tablespoon parsley
  13. Season well with salt and pepper to taste
  14. Gradually mix the flour into the potatoes to make a dough, adding more flour as needed
  15. Knead the dough until smooth, about 4 minutes

  17. Divide the dough into 4 pieces
  18. On a lightly floured surface, using the palm of your hands, roll each dough section into a 1/2-inchthick roll

  22. Transfer to a large serving bowl and add the tomato sauce, tossing gently to combine
  23. Garnish with fresh basil, if using and serve immediately
