Directions

To prepare the Gnocchi

  • (Makes about 150 gnocchi. Uncooked gnocchi can be frozen and used later.)
  • Using a potato ricer, rice the peeled potatoes and lay flat to dry on a board or counter.
  • Dust with 00 flour.
  • Season with salt, white pepper and nutmeg.
  • Bring together with your hands, make a well in the center, crack eggs into well.
  • Mix thoroughly with your hands until ingredients come together.
  • Build the dough by kneading for approximately 5 minutes. Dough should feel soft and smooth. Be careful not to overwork the dough. To make the gnocchi, cut the dough into pieces and roll the dough into a ¾-inch to 1-inch-thick ropes. The thicker the rope the heavier the gnocchi. Using a pastry cutter cut the rope into 1-inch pieces.

To prepare the sauce

  • (Serves 4)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste. In a large pot over medium heat, heat oil. Add onion, carrots and celery; cook until soft, 5 minutes. Add tomato paste and cook until fragrant, 1 minute more. Add lamb and pork; cook, breaking up meat with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, 6 minutes.
  • Add white wine and cook until mostly reduced, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and oregano, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for 1 hour. Season with more salt and pepper to taste.

To prepare the gremolata

  • Mix ingredients together

Assembly

  • To assemble, you’ll need 28 pieces of the gnocchi from above. Preheat a large saucepan on the stove. Coat the bottom of the pan with vegetable oil and begin to sauté the gnocchi. Flip and turn the gnocchi until they are golden brown.
  • Add the lamb ragù and warm through.
  • Finish with gremolata and 3 ounces of Fruition Farms Dairy & Creamery fresh ricotta.
