Ingredients

4 ¼ Cup Potatoes 3-4 large potatoes or 

1 ¼ cup Hearthy GF AP Flour

1 T Hearthy Spinach Flour

2 eggs

½ tsp Salt

8 oz Classic Pesto Sauce 4 servings (Store bought or make your own!)

Directions:

1. Boil potatoes until tender. These potatoes need to be free of lumps. Remove skin and use a potato ricer. If you don’t have one you can push through a sieve or add it to a food processor and pulse it a few times.
2. In a medium bowl add the cooled potatoes, GF flour, salt and whisked eggs. Use a wooden spoon to mix everything together. Once well combined, use your hands to knead dough for 5 minutes. 
3. Divide dough into 10 chunks. Use a little flour for dusting if the dough is a bit sticky.  Roll each piece out into elongated rolls, like a sausage about ½ inch thick. Once rolled, slice ½ inch size pieces and roll over a fork or gnocchi board. Depending on the size of each gnocchi, it could make between 100 to 120 balls. 
4. In a pot of boiling water add salt. Place gnocchi in water, 1 cup at a time. Gnocchi’s will sink to the bottom but will float to the top when they are done. Allow to cook for a couple more minutes before removing them. Use a slotted spoon and strain. 
5. For one serving add ¼ cup pesto or tomato sauce in a saute pan. Once hot, add 1 cup of Gnocchi. Saute until the sauce is evenly coated. Add fresh spinach or parmesan cheese to finish.
