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
Add the flour, egg yolk, and a pinch of salt to the cooled potatoes. Knead until you have a soft, smooth 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 gnocchi with a fork to create the characteristic ridges.
5
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the gnocchi in smaller batches. As soon as they float to the surface (about 2 minutes), drain them and set aside.
6
Preheat your grill to medium heat and brush the grates with olive oil.
7
Cut the zucchini, eggplant, and bell pepper into thick slices. Brush with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
8
Place the vegetables on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, until lightly charred and caramelized.
9
Brush the cooked gnocchi with a little olive oil and place them on the grill grates. Grill for 2-3 minutes, until light grill marks appear.
10
Before serving, combine the grilled gnocchi and vegetables. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil.
