Gordon Ramsey mentioned a [[gnocchi]] recipe in a recent (repeated) "Kitchen Nightmare" and although it was not this recipe, it served as a nudge to dig this recipe out and give it a try.

This dish is very simple and economical and serves as a good [[starter]] or [[main course]]. We had this as a main with spicy beefburgers and fresh tomatoes.

{{RecipeIngredients
|'''For the [[gnocchi]]'''
| 275 g (10 oz) [[potatoes]], ideally Desiree or King Edward
| 1 [[egg]], beaten
| 95 g (3½ oz) [[plain flour]], sifted
| [[Salt]] and [[freshly ground black pepper]]
|'''For the garlic & [[sage]] [[butter]]'''
| 10 fresh [[sage leaves]]
| 2 large cloves of [[Garlic|garlic]], peeled and crushed
| 50 g (2 oz) [[butter]]
|'''To garnish'''
| 2 tablespoons freshly [[grated]] [[Parmesan cheese]]
}}
===Method===
{{RecipeMethod
|'''Making the [[gnocchi]]'''
| In a large pan, cover the unpeeled [[potatoes]] with [[boiling]] water [[salted]] water
| ([[Boiling]] in their skins prevents too much water being absorbed into the [[potatoes]] so try not to damage the skins)
| Bring back to the [[boil]], cover and [[simmer]] for 25 minutes
| Drain, pat dry on a tea-towel and allow to cool so they can be handled safely
| Run the skins off and pass through a [[potato ricer]] or use a hand whisk to break up into a very fine [[mash]]. It's worth taking care over this you will have lumpy [[gnocchi]]
| Add the sifted [[flour]] and half of the beaten [[egg]]
| Knead with your hands to a soft [[dough]], correcting with extra [[egg]] or [[flour]] if too wet or dry
| Transfer to a [[flour]]ed cutting board, dry and dust your hands with extra [[flour]]
| Divide into four and roll each piece into a sausage about 1 cm (1/2") diameter then cut into 2.5 cm (1") sections
| Using the times of a fork, press flat into each piece to make the [[sauce]]-holding pattern, the rougher the better, we want rustic!
| Cover and chill until required
| ([[Gnocchi]] does not keep well without discolouring so only make what you are going to use on the day)
|'''Cooking the [[gnocchi]]'''
| Warm a serving dish in the oven
| In a large pan, bring 4 [[litres]] (7 [[pints]]) of water to a [[simmer]]
| Add the [[gnocchi]] and cook for 3 minutes, they will float after 2 but still need another minute
| Drain, transfer to the warm serving dish and mix in the [[Parmesan cheese]]
|'''Making the [[sage]] and [[Garlic|garlic]] [[butter]]'''
| In a small [[frying pan]], heat the [[butter]] so it starts to froth
| Stir in the [[Garlic|garlic]] and mix until it starts to colour. Don't let it burn
| Add the [[sage leaves]] and let the [[sage]] leaves crisp up
| Drizzle the [[sage]] and [[Garlic|garlic]] [[butter]] [[butter]] over the [[gnocchi]]
| Serve immediately
