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.
