Preparation

How to prepare the broccoli gnocchi recipe

1

First, remove the broccoli florets and wash them under running water. Then cook them in plenty of salted water for 15 minutes . They should be tender when pierced with a fork.

2

Once this is done, drain them and let them dry (as well as cool) in a colander. Reduce them to a puree by mashing them with a fork or with a potato masher and then transfer them to a bowl.

3

Add the flour and egg and mix first with a spoon and then by hand, transferring everything onto the pastry board. Bear in mind that the quantity of flour depends on the size of the broccoli and how much water it has absorbed. Add more until you obtain a soft dough that does not stick your hands excessively.

Form little loaves by rolling portions of dough between your hands then cut them into pieces of about 1 cm. You can form the gnocchi of the size you prefer and, if desired, create the characteristic lines by passing them on the tines of a fork or on the rigagnocchi.

Once ready, boil them in plenty of salted water until they float to the surface, then pan them with the chosen seasoning.
