Directions

Potato Gnocchi

1. First, we will rinse the potatoes well and put them to boil in cold water and a little salt for 30 minutes. Anyway, try inserting a fork inside to see if they have boiled well.
2. Once ready, we will prepare the gnocchi. First, press the boiled potatoes peeled from the skins with potato presses in a deep bowl.
3. Next, in the same bowl, add flour, egg, and a little salt.
4. Then, make the gnocchi dough and add a little flour if necessary. We will see that the dough will form quickly. Even if it is a little sticky, we knead it with other flour in the work plan.
5. Next, start to cut potato gnocchi. For that, transfer potato gnocchi dought to a table sprinkled with flour.
6. Then, roll it, give the dough a cylindrical shape, and cut it into small equal gnocchi parts.
7. Next, use a fork, sliding the cut pieces of dough to give a light crushing and serration shape.
8. We put potato gnocchi in an open casserole and sprinkled them with flour. Continue like this with all the dough.
9. If you want to preserve some or all of potato gnocchi for future cooking, you can store it well in the freezer.
10. So, first, we put them in the freezer in an open casserole. Passing the frozen time, remove the gnocchi from the freezer and put frozen gnocchi in the plastic bag, keeping it in the freezer again.

Preparing the Sauce

1. Meanwhile, as the potatoes boil, rinse the spinach carefully and cut it thin.
2. Then, in a non-stick pan, we will add the chicken fillet that we have cut thinly and sauté it with olive oil. Add salt and pepper and let it take on a golden color.
3. Add a little salt to the spinach and cover with a lid until you see that the spinach has softened.
4. Finally, add the cream cotta to bind the sauce. Arrange the spinach and chicken breast sauce with salt and pepper.

Gnocchi cooking

1. We will boil salted water in a large pot.
2. When it boils, add potato gnocchi. When our gnocchi float to the surface, potato gnocchi is ready. So, for a minute, potato gnocchi will boil. And, add cook gnocchi to the sauce.
3. Mix all for a minute and add a few more boiling water. Add minced parmesan cheese.
   
4. In the end, serve the gnocchi on a large warm plate. You can also use other sauces, but even with butter and cheese, potato gnocchi taste good.

Bon Appetit!
