Preparation Steps
1
Peel the potatoes, cut them into smaller pieces, and boil in salted water for about 20 minutes, or until tender.
2
Drain the cooked potatoes, mash them in a bowl, and let them cool completely.
3
To the cooled potatoes, add the flour, egg yolk, and a pinch of salt. Knead until you have a soft, homogeneous dough.
4
Divide the dough into four parts. Roll each part into a rope about 2 cm thick, then cut into small pieces. Gently press each piece with a fork to create the characteristic gnocchi pattern.
5
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the gnocchi in smaller batches. Once they float to the surface (about 2 minutes), drain them and set aside.
6
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until softened.
7
Add the ground meat and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the meat is fully cooked and lightly browned.
8
Pour in the tomato paste and cook for 5-7 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
9
Stir in the heavy cream and fresh parsley. Simmer over low heat until the sauce thickens slightly.
10
Add the cooked gnocchi to the Bolognese sauce and gently toss to coat each piece evenly.
11
Before serving, sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley.
