Once you get them made, you can freeze them and they will save for a month or two. The trick for freezing them is to freeze them on a baking sheet. Keep the gnocchis from touching otherwise they will get stuck together. Once they are frozen, you can put all the gnocchis in a freezer bag. You cook them just the same as the directions say, but they may take a few seconds longer.
Homemade Sweet Potato Gnocchi
Ingredients:
2 1-lb. sweet potatoes
1 12-oz. container fresh ricotta cheese, drained in sieve 2 hours
1 12-oz. container fresh ricotta cheese, drained in sieve 2 hours
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tbs. packed brown sugar
2 tsp. plus 2 tbs. salt
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
2 3/4 cups flour (about)
Directions:
Place sweet potatoes on plate; microwave on high until tender, about 5 minutes per side. Cut in half and cool. Scrape sweet potato flesh into medium bowl and mash; transfer 3 cups to mixer. Add ricotta and blend well. Add Parmesan, brown sugar, 2 tsp. salt and nutmeg; mash to blend. Mix in flour, about 1/2 cup at a time, until soft dough forms.
Turn dough onto floured surface; divide into 6 equal pieces. Form each piece into a 20-inch-long rope (about 1 inch in diameter), sprinkle with flour as needed if sticky. Cut each rope into 40 pieces. Transfer to baking sheet.
Bring large pot of water to boil; add 2 tbs. salt and return to boil. Working in batches, boil gnocchi until they float to the top.
Serve with Brown Butter Sage Sauce or Homemade Marinara.
