Instructions
Sweet Potato Gnocchi
Preheat your oven to 200C. Prick the sweet potatoes all over with a fork, wrap them in foil and bake for about 35-40 minutes, until cooked through and soft.
Let the sweet potatoes cool. Then scoop the flesh out and mash well. Combine with the flour, turmeric, salt and nutmeg.
Use a fork to pull all the ingredients together. Once you have a scraggy, moistened dough, use your hands to gently knead it. Don't overwork the dough. You may need to add more flour if your dough is too sticky.
Once the dough is easy to handle, form it into a disc. Cut into quarters.
Roll each portion into a long rope. Cut into small bite sized pieces. This is your gnocchi.
You can roll it over the tines of a fork to get ridges. Your gnocchi is ready to cook.
Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add salt to it. Drop your gnocchi, when it comes up to the surface, its ready. Remove with a slotted spoon , drain and mix into any sauce of your choice. ( see NOTE) Serve immediately. Enjoy!
White Wine Sauce
In a saucepan, heat the butter and olive oil. Add the finely minced garlic. Cook for 30 seconds. Add the flour, whisk well for 1 minute. Add the white wine. Let it come to a gentle boil, keep whisking it to prevent any lumps from forming.
Add salt and pepper to taste. Add some of the starchy gnocchi cooking liquid to loosen the sauce a bit. Add the gnocchi, cook for a couple minutes and toss with some fresh herbs. Sprinkle some nuts on top and serve immediately.
Notes
NOTE:You can freeze the gnocchi at this point for later use. Toss lightly with olive oil, spread them out evenly on a tray and freeze. Once frozen, transfer to a freezer safe container.
