Ingredients

  • 250g/9oz potatoes
  • 150g/5oz plain flour
  • 30g/1oz corn flour
  • 3 egg
  • salt
  • for rolling out rice flour
  • 90ml/6 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ a red onion
  • 1 garlic
  • 150g/5oz mixed mushrooms
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 rosemary
  • handful of parsley
  • 55g/2oz butter
  • handful sage
  • 2 tbsp grated parmesan
  • drizzle of balsamic vinegar

Instructions

  • First place the unpeeled potatoes in a pan of slightly salted water, bring to the boil and cook until the potatoes are tender. Keep the potatoes whole - if they are cut, they absorb water. If you prefer, you can bake the potatoes in the oven.
  • Meanwhile, make the filling. Heat the olive oil in a pan and sweat the onion and garlic. Then add the mushrooms and stir-fry for a minute. Season with salt and pepper, add the herbs and cook for a few minutes until the mushrooms are soft. Set aside and leave to cool.
  • To make the gnocchi, once the potatoes are cooked, drain and leave to cool. When cool, peel and discard the skin and mash the potatoes.
  • Place the mashed potato in a large bowl together with the flour and cornflour. Add the eggs and salt and mix well until you get a smooth, but slightly sticky dough.
  • Place on a floured worktop and with a rolling pin roll out to a thin sheet. With a 6cm/2½in pastry cutter, cut out approximately 20 rounds. Place 1 tsp of the filling in the centre of half the round shapes. Place the empty ones over the top and with your fingers press down the edges.
  • Bring a large saucepan of slightly salted water to the boil, then drop in the gnocchi. When they come up to the surface, cook for a further 2 minutes (remember these are filled gnocchi and much thicker than normal gnocchi, so they need a little longer to cook through).
  • Meanwhile, in a pan melt the butter, add the sage and gnocchi, then mix in the Parmesan. Drizzle some balsamic vinegar over the top and serve.
