Hi everyone! One of my friends, a top graduate of USC film school wrote and directed this short film called THE BROKEN HEART OF GNOCCHI BOLOGNESE. It's a whimsical, fun, romantic comedy that appeals to food lovers. The trailer is listed under my favorites on my YouTube page or you can find it by searching for the title. The entire film is available on the iPad app Play Festival Films. The link for the iPad app is listed in the description of the trailer. Check it out. Thanks!
Bake the potato not boil. Add some grated cheese to the mixture. Do not put in ice water. It's okay to use some egg white. Make ridges with a fork. Other than these suggestions, pretty good job.
@comfortablesofa oops i meant water souluable starch : cells of the root tubers of the potato plant contain starch grains (leucoplasts) any way , the idea is to condense the starch to give the gnocci stregnth
@NicolettaTavella Sorry - let me rephrase. All purpose wheat-based flour does contain the proteins necessary to form gluten, though you really shouldn't try to knead the dough and develop too much gluten for gnocchi. I actually find gluten free flour helps make better gnocchi than all-purpose flour for this reason, because even if I over knead it, I can still get nice airy pasta instead of rubbery and chewy gnocchi.
If you put wichever cheese in the mass you'll make a gummy gnocchi... Cheese it's a glue, parmigiano (parmesan) too. If you fear gnocchi split, then put some more egg.
For the butter... Black or brown it's cancerous. Butter burns at low temperatures... Proteins burn fast.
I think 120'C it's the right Middle between burn and melt.
If you're boiling your potatoes in water your doing it all wrong. That's right, you don't boil the potatoes. You bake them. That way you don't introduce any additional water into the dough mixture. And you should test a few gnocchi in the boiling water to see if they fall apart. Gnocchi with the right mix of flour to potato will not fall apart in boiling water. And there's no need to use ice water if the gnocchi's being served with a tomato porcini sauce or tomato gorgonzola sauce.
Give it time to rest, and the starch from both - flour and Potatoes - will work and keep the gnocchis together. Plus: i preecook the potatoes in the oven, thereby not adding any water to the dough, but rather reduce some water out of the picture...
im from pedevena italy and i must say this is pretty much the way ur supposed to do it, except ur supposed to usa a half cup of parmessian to every 1 cup of gnocchi, and the sage and butter sauce is what my family has been using for centuries, also a good cheese to use is piave from cosco, it is a pedevena based company that actully started from my great grandfathers farm, good luck to all u food lovers
yeah great advice, just how the professionals make it.. i find gnocchi a little heavy though.. the traditional and my fave sauce is with: 1) olive oil 2) garlic 3)basil herb 4) some chilli powder 5) small amount of minced pork meat 6)1 tin of chopped tomatoes 7)small cup of fresh cream 8) small cup of baby peas Pepper basil and Parmesan cheese topping btw, the sauce should have an orange colour serve piping hot
@klingus11 Exactly. You drain them and mix them with the sauce IMMEDIATELY. The remaining starches (if you don't drain them that is) will bind the sauce ever so slightly and make the dish even yummier. BTW, this butter is too brown, if you ask me...
This guy isn't giving advice, he's educating. There's a not-so-subtle difference.
Real cooking isn't about sparing someone's feelings. If someone cooks crap, someone should tell them. Those who can handle the criticism will learn from their mistakes, grow, and become the best at what they do. That being said, he's hardly judgmental.
if you cant pronounce what your cooking, you doing it all wrong
