Gluten Free Gnocchi Recipe Video

Eating out, especially at Italian restaurants can be quite a challenge when you have a gluten intolerance or prefer to eat a diet that does not include gluten. More and more restaurants are offering gluten free options on their menu. Pasta dishes use a lot of grains that contain gluten and if they try to use other ingredients the taste can be blah. We found a recipe that is completely gluten free and incredibly delicious at Iorio in SW Portland. Chef Chris invited us back into the kitchen to share a special recipe for Gnocchi with us.

Directions

GETTING READY
1. Peel the baked potatoes and add to a ricer or food mill. Rice the potatoes and turn into a bowl.
2. Add the egg yolks and blend well.
3. Add roasted garlic, herbs and cheeses, salt and chili flakes. Using your hand work into a smooth dough. Taste.
4. Sprinkle with 1/3 of the flour and knead. Once dough starts to come together, add a another 1/3 of it and work again. Use hands to knead into a shaggy mass. If dough is too sticky, sprinklea over more flour until dough feels dry to the touch.
5. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
6. On a gluten-free flour dusted surface, divide dough into 6 wedges. Roll each wedge into a 1/2 inch thick rope. Using a pastry scraper or a dull knife, cut rope into 1/2 inch pieces, keeping pieces separate by dusting with more gluten-free flour.
7. In a large pan melt the butter and add the garlic and sage. Fry and lightly brown the butter.
8. In the meantime, drop gnocchi into boiling water, about 30 pieces at a time, and cook until they float, about 40 seconds.
9. Drain gnocchi and add to the butter. Toss to coat. It is fine to have a little cooking water fall into the pan. It helps to make the sauce.

SERVING
10. Divide gnocchi among plates and top with additional cheese or herbs if you like.
