A delightful homemade gnocchi recipe paired with a rich marinara sauce and savory sausage, perfect for a comforting meal.
Peel and boil the potatoes until tender, then mash them until smooth.
Ensure the potatoes are completely mashed to avoid lumps in the gnocchi.
Combine the mashed potatoes with flour and a beaten egg to form a dough.
Add the flour gradually to achieve the right dough consistency.
Roll the dough into long strips and cut into small pieces to form gnocchi.
Dust the surface with flour to prevent sticking.
Cook the gnocchi in boiling water until they float to the top, then drain.
Remove the gnocchi promptly to prevent overcooking.
Cook the sausage in a skillet until browned, then add marinara sauce, garlic, and basil.
Stir frequently to prevent the sauce from sticking to the skillet.
Combine the cooked gnocchi with the sauce and serve warm.
Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
