How to Make Romeri S Gnocchi Sauce

  1. **Make the Gnocchi Dough:** In a food processor, combine 2 lbs russet potatoes (cooked and riced), 2 large eggs, 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp salt, and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese. Pulse until a dough ball forms.
  2. **Knead the Dough:** Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and firm (about 5-7 minutes).
  3. **Shape the Gnocchi:** Cut off a small piece of dough and roll it into a long, thin rope (about 1/2 inch thick).
  4. **Cut and Prepare:** Cut the rope into 1-inch pieces. Use a fork to create ridges (optional). Place gnocchi on a lightly floured baking sheet.
  5. **Cook or Freeze:** You can cook the gnocchi immediately or freeze them on the baking sheet for later use. If freezing, cover with plastic wrap and then foil.
  6. **Cook the Gnocchi:** Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook until they float to the surface and are tender (about 2-3 minutes).
  7. **Make the Sauce:** While the gnocchi cooks, heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 3 cloves minced garlic and cook until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
  8. **Simmer the Sauce:** Stir in 2 (28 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes, 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat, and cook for 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened.
  9. **Combine and Serve:** Drain the cooked gnocchi and add them to the sauce. Toss to coat. Serve immediately topped with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and extra basil.
