Gnocchi without potatoes, the unexpected dish

Not only are these among the easiest vegan recipes ever, these potato-free gnocchi are also super easy to make!

Gnocchi without potatoes are an unusual recipe , simple to prepare and perfect if you have tried the traditional gnocchi recipe several times, but with poor results. To prepare them you only need water, flour and oil and they are prepared with a dough cooked on the fire and subsequently worked giving it the classic shape.

The origin of this dish is very ancient and dates back to when potatoes were not yet consumed in Europe. The flour dumplings were therefore the only ones known despite their simplicity.

The perfect dressing is your favourite: from the classic tomato sauce to vegetable ragout through (vegetable) cream and curry. Let your imagination run wild and you won't regret it!

How to prepare potato gnocchi recipe

1. Bring a pot of water , oil and salt to the boil, then add the flour , stirring with a wooden spoon. Remove the pan from the heat and continue stirring vigorously or you will no longer be able to work the mixture.

2. Transfer it to a floured pastry board and knead vigorously to obtain a smooth and homogeneous dough. If necessary, add a little more flour. Cover it with an overturned bowl and let it rest for half an hour.

3. Then remove some portions of dough and work them to form loaves of about 1.5 cm in diameter.

4. Then cut them into chunks with the help of a tarot or a knife and pass them on the gnocchi line . Alternatively you can use the prongs of a fork.

Gnocchi is a delicious first course that lends itself to many variations, as well as the version without potatoes. Using your imagination and our recipes, you can indulge yourself!

• The first sauce that you can prepare is the Sorrento one, where the creaminess of the mozzarella meets the delicate flavor of the tomato. The recipe is identical to that of the gnocchi alla sorrentina , but remember to use the ones without potatoes!
• Another alternative is the classic one of butter and sage gnocchi. Put a knob of butter in a pan, melt it and add a couple of sage leaves. Leave to flavor for 10 minutes and then add the gnocchi to the pan.
• Remaining on the classic, how can Genoese pesto be missing? Should the mortar be missing in the kitchen, you can opt for a quick preparation using the blender. You will feel the taste!
• For lovers of strong flavours, gnocchi with gorgonzola can also be prepared. Remember to add 2 tablespoons of milk to the cheese: this is the secret to obtaining a super creamy sauce.
• Finally, you can prepare a cream and salmon variant. In a non-stick pan, put the chopped shallot, the smoked salmon into strips and the oil. After cooking the salmon, add the cream and cook for a couple of minutes. Then add the gnocchi and enjoy your delicious first course.
