Preparation Steps
1
Boil the potatoes in their skins until tender. Let them cool slightly, then peel and mash them using a potato ricer until completely smooth.
2
Combine the mashed potatoes with the flour, egg yolks, and salt. Gently knead until you have a soft, non-sticky dough. Be careful not to overwork the dough, or the gnocchi will be tough.
3
Divide the dough into four parts. Roll each part into a long cylinder, about 2 cm in diameter. Use a sharp knife to cut the cylinders into 2 cm pieces.
4
You can shape the cut pieces with a fork to create a ridged surface that will better hold the sauce.
5
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Drop in the gnocchi and cook until they float to the surface (about 2-3 minutes). Drain well.
6
In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and sauté the finely chopped garlic until fragrant.
7
Pour in the heavy cream and let it simmer over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens slightly.
8
Stir in the chili flakes and grated Parmesan cheese, and continue stirring until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth.
9
Add the cooked gnocchi and gently toss to coat them evenly with the spicy chili sauce.
10
Serve sprinkled with fresh chopped parsley and extra chili flakes for an extra kick.
