Ingredients

Servings: 4
  • 800 g floury cooking potatoes (e.g. Bio Linda)
  • 30 g Pine nuts
  • 100 g Rocket
  • 100 g Parmesan cheese
  • 150 g Flour
  • 100 g Durum wheat semolina
  • 1 egg (size M)
  • 7-10 Tbsp Salt
  • 7-10 Tbsp grated nutmeg
  • 400 g cherry tomatoes
  • 4-5 Tbsp Olive oil
  • 7-10 Tbsp black pepper
  • 7-10 Tbsp Flour

Directions

  1. 1

    Wash the potatoes thoroughly, place them in a pot with water, bring to the boil, cover and cook over medium heat for about 25 minutes. In the meantime, roast the pine nuts in a pan without fat, turning them golden brown.

  2. 2

    Remove from the pan and set aside. Wash 25 g rocket, drain well and cut into very fine strips. Grate 50 g Parmesan finely. Drain potatoes, rinse and peel. Press the still warm potatoes through a potato press.

  3. 3

    Add flour, semolina, egg, salt, nutmeg, grated parmesan and strips of rocket and mix well. Divide the mixture into thirds and form into strands (approx. 3.5 cm Ø) on a floured work surface. Cut into approx. 1.5 cm thick slices.

  4. 4

    Dust thinly with flour and press on with a fork. Place on a large board. Bring plenty of salted water to the boil in a large wide pot. Cook the gnocchi in two portions at medium heat for 10-12 minutes.

  5. 5

    Remove carefully with a skimmer. In the meantime, wash and clean the tomatoes and cut them in half as desired. Wash 75 g rocket and drain well. Peel 50 g parmesan shavings with a peeler.

  6. 6

    Heat olive oil in a large pan, add tomatoes and gnocchi and fry briefly while turning. Season with pepper and fold in rocket. Serve on plates sprinkled with Parmesan shavings and pine nuts.
