Eat Your Greens…and Truffle Gnocchi

My stomach is in knots from the cream sauce I made to go with this, but the outcome of this meal was too good not to post. The gnocchi itself was perfect. The texture was great (slightly chewy and soft, I think that is good?), and had a great flavor. Flour I used was Rimacinata Cuore, a hard durum wheat fine grain semolina flour from Castelvetrano, Sicily. Filippo Drago is the miller who grows this wheat at his mill called Molini del Ponte. The other flour I used for this was Bob’s Red Mill Tipo 00 flour.

Gnocchi: 3 cups flour (half Topo 00 flour, half rimacinata flour), 1 egg, nutmeg, salt, pepper, 2 cups of russet potato (riced).

As for the delicious greens…charred broccolini and english peas. Blanched both of these. Then seared on high with safflower oil. Finish with flake sea salt.
