Ingredients

Method

  1. Boil the potatoes in their skins until tender, about 20-25 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
  2. Mash the potatoes while still warm, then mix in flour, salt, nutmeg, and Parmesan cheese until a dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough briefly, then roll it into 1-inch pieces and flatten slightly with a fork.
  4. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the gnocchi in batches until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. In a large skillet, heat the marinara sauce and add the fresh basil leaves. Cook for 5 minutes.
  6. Toss the cooked gnocchi into the sauce and mix well.
  7. Serve immediately with additional Parmesan cheese.
