Ingredients

• Potatoes 500 g
• Flour 180 g
• Salt 1 pinch
• Onion 1 piece
• Vegetable oil 2 tbsp. spoons
• Champignons 200 g
• Tomatoes in their own juice 1 l
• Spinach 90 g
• Hard cheese 140 g
• Arugula for decoration

Cooking method

• Boil the potatoes in their skins so that the tubers do not absorb a lot of water. Then clean them while still hot (gloves to help) and quickly knead or rub finely.

  An important point: the tubers do not need to be brought to full readiness and even more so boiled, it is better to let them remain slightly damp inside, otherwise the dough will disintegrate.

• It is imperative to purée the potatoes hot, as this will take up less flour and the gnocchi will remain soft after boiling.

• Add a pinch of salt, half of the flour to the grated potatoes and mix. Pour in the remaining flour and knead the potato dough with your hands until it comes together.

• Divide the dough into four pieces and roll each into a 2–2.5 cm thick rope.

• Cut the tourniquet into pieces, shape them as desired, and then boil them in plenty of boiling salt water until they float.

• For the sauce, save half rings of onion in hot oil and add mushrooms to it. After seasoning, leave the mushrooms to fry until the moisture has completely evaporated and pour in the tomatoes along with the juice.

• Mash the tomatoes with a spoon and cook the sauce for 10-15 minutes. Add spinach leaves at the very end.

• Combine freshly brewed gnocchi with sauce and sprinkle with ⅔ of the grated cheese. Leave the dish covered until serving to allow the cheese to melt.

• After placing the gnocchi on plates, sprinkle them with the rest of the cheese, add freshly ground pepper and, if desired, arugula.
