GNOCCHI CALABRESE STYLE
INGREDIENTS: (NB: Nonna Maria cooked for a BIG family night so use a third of her portions for a family night)
10 potatoes
1 kilo plan flour
3 eggs
5L water
METHOD:
1. To make Nonna Maria’s fresh gnocchi, boil the potatoes until they are nice and soft.
VINCENZO’S TIP: Don’t over boil the potatoes or they won’t be the right consistency for the gnocchi.
2. Once boiled, peel the potatoes and squash them through the potato masher and onto a wooden board.
3. Spread the potatoes out slightly using a fork to help them cool.
4. Add three eggs to the potatoes and mix them through well using your hands.
5. Then, add a sprinkle of salt to the gnocchi and continue to mix through.
6. Get a handful of flour, sprinkle it on top and then mix it through by beginning to knead the dough.
7. Continue this process until the gnocchi dough is no longer sticky.
NONNA MARIA’S TIP: Some of the dough will stick to your hands while you are kneading it, so just add some flour onto your hands and rub one with the other to remove it and add it to the gnocchi – nothing gets wasted in her kitchen!
8. Once you are happy with the consistency, cut a small portion of the gnocchi dough and using the palms of your hands to just below the tips of your fingers, roll the dough into a long coil – make sure it’s not too thin!
9. Then, using a sharp knife cut the coil into small pillow-like shapes, on a diagonal.
10. Sprinkle added flour over each of the gnocchi and using a cheese grater, gently press each gnocchi into it until it creates a small gap in the bottom of the gnocchi. This will help them stay nice and soft once they cook through.
11. Once finished, bring 5L of water to boil in a large pot and add the gnocchi in.
12. When the gnocchi have risen to the top, wait a few seconds then gather them up a small portion at a time, using a large hand sieve/strainer.
E ora si mangia, Vincenzo’s Plate…Enjoy!

I really do love it when you do these videos with families cooking together. So great to see several generations in the kitchen having fun. Thank you so much for this Vincenzo. Chow!!!!
Beautiful sorry some family’s just don’t know how to love each other and get along! .. this reminds my when I was a kid .
“People live in competition now a days “
WOW!!! That looks A-MAZING! Thanks for the tips @VincenzosPlate 🙂 We love to cook as we travel the globe and Gnocchi could be one that we add to our recipe book!
My nonna loves your cooking she won't stop watching your videos.
Greetings from Ethiopia. La patria Italiana today I add gnocchi to my menu. Thank signora
that be one jiant nokkie
I learned to cook exactly like Nona says. You have to feel it. My grandmothers never made any kind of pastry with pre-measured ingredients like flour either. Eggs, sugar yes, but not flour or water or oil. It was always "Add a little bit at a time. You have to be able to tell by how it feels in your hands."
Cooking with your family is life!!!! And its a dying craft with all the junk foods we Americans consume. This was beautiful to watch. Iam creole by culture and my fondest memories are cooking with my mama and now my children and one day my grandchildren bon appetit
I thumbed up as soon as the video started. I love Grandmas cooking 😍

I want to be just like Nonna Maria when I grow up! My parents and grandparents were NOT into having family dinners together and all cooking together. My poor teen girls keep getting told which boys have the best character and bone structure. Hoy!
