Ingredients

For the gnocchi

Instructions

• To begin, prepare the gnocchi dough. In a large bowl, mix together potatoes, salt, black pepper powder, oil, and all-purpose flour. Bring it together to form a dough but don't knead it too much.
• Roll it into a long tube and cut it into 1-inch pieces. Shape the gnocchi as per your choice. Check out the video below.
• Bring water to a rolling boil. Season it with a bit of salt. Add in the gnocchi and allow them to rise to the top. It would take 2-3 minutes.
• In the meantime, prepare the sauce. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp butter in a pan.
• Add in finely chopped garlic and saute for a minute.
• Next, add finely chopped onions and saute until translucent.
• Drain the gnocchi and add it to the sauce. Keep the water for further use. Mix well.
• Add in the Italian seasoning and red chilli flakes. Mix well.
• Add a quarter cup of the water you boiled the gnocchi in. Mix.
• Finally, add in the grated cheese of your choice and cook until it melts. You can add a bit of the gnocchi water if required.
• The Eggless Gnocchi in Herb & Cheese Sauce is ready to serve. Serve hot with toasted bread.
