Ingredients

For gnocchi:

• 450 g peeled, raw potatoes
• 1 egg yolk
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 85 g of 00 flour or all purpose
• Extra flour for dusting

For sauce:

• 3 tbsp butter
• 2-3 Italian sausages (casing removed)
• 1 bunch of broccoli rabe
• 1/2 white onion diced
• 3 garlic cloves minced
• 1/4 tsp of red pepper flakes
• 1/4 cup fresh parmesan
• 1/2- 3/4 cup heavy cream (depending on how creamy you want it)
• Salt & Pepper to taste

Instructions

For gnocchi:

1. Chop potato and boil in salted water until soft.
2. Use a potato ricer and create a well with the potatoes on a flat surface. Allow to cool for 10 minutes, or place the potatoes on a plate or sheet tray and place in the freezer.
3. Add a yolk and mash to combine. Slowly add flour and salt until a soft dough forms. Knead for 3-4 minutes or until it is fully combined.
4. Divide dough into 4 and roll out into logs. Cut into small squares and use flour to extra dusting so they don't stick.
5. Preheat a medium pan on medium heat, and when it's warm, add 2 tbsp of butter. Boil the gnocchi in salted water until the gnocchi floats (30 seconds - 1 minute).
6. Transfer the gnocchi to the pan and sauté until the gnocchi is lightly golden brown, remove & set aside.

To assemble:

1. Sauté sausage in a pan on medium heat and crumble. Add onion just before the sausage is fully browned.
2. Roughly chop broccoli rabe and blanch in salted boiling water for 2 minutes.
3. Add broccoli rabe to the pan with sausage and sauté for another 2-3 minutes.
4. Add minced garlic, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper.
5. Add cream and simmer for another 3 minutes. Add the gnocchi and parmesan cheese, and toss to coat. Serve warm with fresh parmesan & fresh pepper :)
