Season with salt, then mash potatoes with fork, masher, or in ricer. Place in large bowl, and stir in egg and olive oil. Knead in enough flour to make a soft dough.
2. 2 On a floured surface, roll dough into a long rope. Cut the rope into 1/2-inch pieces.

By PASTAWITHGARLIC

Ingredients

• ✓ russet potato
• salt
• egg
• all-purpose flour
• marinara sauce
• parmigiano-reggiano cheese

Instructions

1. 1 Place potato in the microwave and cook on high until cooked through, about 7 minutes, depending on the size of the potato.
2. 2 Split potato and remove flesh. Push flesh through a strainer using the back of a wooden spoon in order to achieve a granular texture. Add a pinch of salt and let cool for about 10 minutes.
3. 3 Add beaten egg to potato and stir, using the tines of a fork and trying not to mash the potato. Add about 1/3 cup flour and continue to stir gently with the fork until mixture starts to come together. You may need another pinch or two of flour. Fold mixture with a spatula until dough forms a mass, adding flour as needed. Using your fingers, knead dough gently to form a ball, about 10 seconds.
4. 4 Shape dough on a floured surface into a fat log. Cut log into four pieces. Gently roll each piece using your fingertips to form a "snake" or a long rope of dough, starting from the center and rolling toward the end until dough is about 1/2-inch thick.
5. 5 Cut each rope into 1/2-inch pieces, then roll each piece quickly down the back of a fork's tines to form ridges.
6. 6 Heat marinara sauce in a skillet while you cook the gnocchi.
7. 7 Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and add gnocchi. As soon as they float to the surface (about 30 seconds or so), cook for an additional 14 seconds. Transfer with a slotted spoon to the pan with the sauce. Stir until coated.
8. 8 Serve topped with grated cheese.

Ingredients

• ✓ russet potato
• all-purpose flour
• ricotta cheese
• parmesan cheese
• egg
• butter
• pancetta
• shallot
• garlic
• red pepper flake
• vodka
• tomato
• parmesan cheese
• tomato paste
• basil
• heavy cream
• salt
• black pepper

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Stab potatoes several times to create holes for steam to escape.
2. 2 Bake in the preheated oven until soft, about 30 minutes. Remove and let cool to room temperature.
3. 3 When cooled, scoop out potato flesh from skin and transfer to a mixing bowl. Discard skins. Mash flesh thoroughly, removing as many firm lumps as possible. Add flour, Parmesan cheese, ricotta cheese, and egg. Knead mixture until dough is smooth. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
4. 4 Divide dough into several baseball-sized balls. Roll each ball on a generously floured work surface into a rope about as thick as a nickel. Cut the ropes into 1-inch sections. Roll the tines of a fork gently over the top of each piece to give an authentic gnocchi appearance (or a decent facsimile); this creates divots for soaking up the sauce.
5. 5 Prepare sauce: melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add pancetta and cook until browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove pancetta from pan and set aside. Add shallot to the pan drippings and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add garlic and red pepper and cook until fragrant, 30 to 40 seconds.
6. 6 Pour vodka into the pan to deglaze; use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits. Let liquid reduce by half. Reduce heat to medium-low and add tomatoes, Parmesan cheese, and tomato paste. Cook sauce for 7 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat and puree with an immersion blender until smooth.
7. 7 Return pot to medium heat. Add 1/4 cup basil and pancetta. Simmer for 15 minutes. Add cream and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes.
8. 8 Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook gnocchi in the boiling water until they float to the top, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain and plate gnocchi. Ladle sauce on top and garnish with more basil. Serve immediately.
