Instructions

  1. 1 Gather the ingredients.
  2. 2 Place potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with 2 inches of salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat to medium-high and simmer, undisturbed, until tender but still firm, 25 to 30 minutes. Drain potatoes and place back in the pot to dry and cool slightly, 5 to 10 minutes.
  3. 3 As soon as potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel potatoes by rubbing skins off with your hands. Pass peeled potatoes through a potato ricer into a large bowl (alternatively, mash until very smooth.) Let cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
  4. 4 Fold in flour, egg, and salt until flour is incorporated and dough starts to hold together. Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and gently knead once or twice until mostly smooth (do not overwork).
  5. 5 Divide dough into 4 even portions. Roll and shape each portions of the dough into long "snakes," about ¾-inch in diameter.
  6. 6 Cut snakes into about 1/2-inch long pieces. (Optional: Roll each piece against the tines of a fork or a gnocchi board to make light ridges.) Transfer shaped gnocchi to a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet dusted with flour.
  7. 7 Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil over high. Working in batches, drop in gnocchi and cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until gnocchi have risen to the top; transfer cooked gnocchi with a spider or slotted spoon to desired sauce.
  8. 8 Serve and enjoy!

  2. 2 Remove leaves from broccoli rabe and cut off and discard the bottom 1/4 of the stalks. Cut remaining stalks into pieces.
  3. 3 Fill a large bowl with ice and cold water. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add broccoli rabe and cook uncovered for 1 minute. Drain in a colander and immediately immerse in the ice water for several minutes to stop the cooking process. Drain.

  6. 6 Lay 1 sheet of phyllo over the prepared dish flush with the edge, so excess phyllo hangs over only one side. Press sheet gently into the dish and brush lightly with melted butter. Top with another sheet of phyllo at a slight angle to the first one. Continue in this manner with up to 12 sheets, brushing each with butter and working clockwise, laying each at a slight angle to the previous sheet.
  7. 7 Spoon filling evenly into the phyllo-lined dish. Using the back of a spoon, make 6 indentations in filling, then carefully place 1 egg yolk in each. Season each yolk with salt and pepper and drizzle with a bit of melted butter.
  8. 8 Fold overhanging phyllo dough, one sheet at a time, into the center to cover filling, brushing each with butter. Brush the top of pie with butter.
  9. 9 Bake in the preheated oven until phyllo is dark golden brown, about 40 minutes. Remove and let cool slightly before slicing.
