Molise-Style Gnocchi with Tomato Sauce

Method

1. Boil potatoes until tender, then mash them in a colander to remove excess moisture.
2. In a large bowl, combine mashed potatoes, flour, salt, and egg. Mix until a soft dough forms.
3. Knead the dough briefly, then roll into long ropes and cut into small pieces.
4. Cook in salted boiling water until they float to the surface, then drain and toss with olive oil and Parmesan.
5. Serve with warmed marinara sauce and fresh basil.
