GNOCCHI WITH LAMB RAGU
Serves: 6
Prep time: 20 mins
Cook time: 2.5 hrs
Ingredients
For the lamb ragu:
6 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, peeled
2 6-inch fresh rosemary sprigs
1 bay leaf
1 small white onion, peeled, finely sliced
1 carrot, peeled, finely cubed
1/2 celery stalk, finely cubed
1 kg shoulder of lamb, cut into small cubes
Salt to taste
Crushed black pepper to taste
500 gm plum tomato, cored, coarsely chopped
1 cup water, or as needed
For the gnocchi dough:
600 gm La Ratte potatoes, boiled
Salt water, as needed
132 gm "00" flour
60 gm corn flour
1 egg, whole
1 egg yolk
8 gm salt
36 ml double cream
24 gm Parmesan cheese
Method
For the ragu, heat the olive oil in a large saucepan, add the peeled garlic, rosemary, and bay leaf, and cook for 1 minute.
Add all the vegetables and cook for 6 minutes.
Add the lamb cubes, seasoned with salt and pepper, and cook until the meat is coated well.
Add the tomato pulp and water, and cook on medium heat for 2 hours, stirring every 10 minutes, until lamb is tender.
For the gnocchi, cook the potatoes in a large saucepan with boiling salt water. Once the potatoes are fully cooked, strain, peel and mash, leaving no lumps.
Add the flour, corn flour, eggs, Parmesan cheese, and salt to the mashed potatoes; mix together until it forms a dough.
Cut the dough into six and, on a floured surface, roll each piece into a ¾-inch diameter rope.
Cut the dough into small pieces equally, and dust them with flour to keep them from becoming sticky.
When the ragu is ready, boil the gnocchi in a large saucepan with salted boiling water, and cook until the gnocchi floats to the surface. Season to taste.
Scoop them out with a strainer ladle and add into the ragu. Toss the pan - but don't overcook, else the gnocchi will get mashed.
Garnish with shaved Parmesan cheese, and serve.
