Gennaro Contaldo's Gnocchi Recipe Ingredients and Video
Gennaro Contaldo, the star chef and restaurateur from southern Italy's Amalfi Coast, makes a gnocchi called Gnocchi With Wild Rocket which is shared on the recipe section of the BBC's website (link). Gennaro has at least two distinct gnocchi dishes that I have discovered. Recipe #1 uses two eggs (among other differences) and recipe #2 uses one egg. After the ingredients list for recipe #1 you can watch Gennaro make both of these unique gnocchi dishes.- 700 grams/1 lb. 9 ounces of Desiree potatoes
- Salt
- Fresh ground black pepper
- 2 free-range eggs using only the yolks
- 150 grams/5 1/2 ounces of plain flour
