Preparation

Bake potatoes with skin on at 200 °C for 40-50 minutes until soft.

Once done, peel and mash them lightly
Next, dust the potatoes with flour, add parmesan cheese and egg yolk. Knead it all lightly.
Once a soft dough is formed, roll it into a long log.
Cut it into small 3 cm pieces and roll over the curved side of a fork.
Once all the dough is cut and shaped, lightly dust it with flour and set in the freezer for some time to retain its shape.
Boil the gnocchi in salted water until they rise to the surface and take them out of the water.
In a pan, heat All-Purpose Tomato Sauce with some water and add the gnocchi in.
Once the gnocchi are coated in the sauce, add mozzarella cheese
Take it off the heat and garnish with chopped basil leaves and olive oil.
