Preparation

For the gnocchi:
- Preheat an oven to 180°C. Line a baking tray with foil.
- Pierce the potatoes with a fork and bake for 1 hour or until tender.
- Peel the potatoes and press the potato flesh through a potato ricer into a large bowl.
- Weight 1kg of the mashed potato add the salt and beat in the flour and egg yolk until the mixture comes together as a soft dough.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and divide it into quarters.
- With each quarter shape it into a 20-inch-long rope. Cut each rope into 20x 1-inch pieces. Roll each piece into a ball. Working with 1 ball at a time (cover remaining dough to prevent drying), using your thumb, roll dough piece down the teeth of a lightly floured fork (gnocchi will have ridges on 1 side and an indentation on the other).
- In a large sauce pan bring the water to a gentle simmer, add half the gnocchi to the boiling water. Cook for about 3-4 min. or until the gnocchi rises to the top.
- Remove the gnocchi and place in a colander to drain. Repeat the cooking process for the other half of the gnocchi.
- Add the MEADOWLAND Professional to a large saute/frying pan and heat until melted.
- Add the cooked gnocchi and fry till golden, set a side and keep warm.
-
For the sauce:
- Heat the MEADOWLAND Professional 250g in a sauté pan on a medium heat.
- Add the mushrooms and sauté for approximately 8-10 min. until the mushrooms are golden.
- Then add the KNORR Professional Garlic Puree and salt, cook for 5 min.
- Deglaze the pan with the white wine and reduce by half.
- Then add the MEADOWLAND Single and water and cook for a further 10 min. until the sauce is creamy in consistency.
- Add the spinach and parmesan.
- Finish with the chopped parsley.
- Spoon the gnocchi onto plates, top with the mushroom and spinach sauce and finish with additional parmesan if required.
