Ingredients

Servings: 4
  • 500 g floury potatoes
  • 7-10 Tbsp Salt
  • 150 g Flour
  • 50 g rocket (as small-leaved as possible)
  • 50 g Walnut kernels
  • 30 g Butter
  • 1 glass (190 g) Pesto with tomatoes, basil and truffles
  • 150 g Whipped cream
  • 7-10 Tbsp Pepper
  • 7-10 Tbsp Flour
  • 1 clean dishtowel

Directions

  1. 1

    Wash the potatoes, cover and cook in plenty of water for about 20 minutes. Drain the potatoes, rinse with cold water and peel. Press potatoes while still hot through a potato ricer and let them cool down for 10-15 minutes. Sprinkle potato mass with about 1 tsp. salt and knead the flour with the dough hooks of the hand mixer bit by bit. Form the potato mixture into longish rolls (approx. 2 cm Ø) and cut into pieces of approx. 1 1/2 cm length.

  2. 2

    Flatten with a fork. Boil up plenty of salted water in a large pot. Cook gnocchi in 2-3 portions in lightly boiling water for 3-5 minutes. When they are floating on top, remove them with a skimmer and let them drip off on a clean tea towel. Clean, wash and drain the rocket. Coarsely chop the walnut kernels. Heat butter in a pan, add walnut kernels, up to 1 tbsp. to sprinkle, fry lightly for about 1 minute. Add the gnocchi and toss in the nut butter for 1-2 minutes. Pour onto a preheated plate. Put truffle-tomato pesto and cream in the hot pan and heat while stirring.
