How To Make Lobster Gnocchi, The Ultimate Summer Pasta
- 1 pound large, high-starch potatoes, such as russets
- 2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted, plus more for dusting
- Zest of 2 lemons
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon minced shallots
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 steamed lobsters
- fine sea salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
- freshly ground black pepper
- 2 cups salad greens, such as arugula, spinach, or mesclun
- 3 cups julienned or bite-size pieces assorted summer vegetables, such as zucchini, summer squash and red bell pepper
- Place the potatoes in a saucepan and add enough water to cover.
- Bring the water to a boil and cook the potatoes until a knife pierces them easily.
- Drain and let cool for 10 minutes.
- Carefully remove skins; the potatoes will still be hot.
- Pass the potatoes through a food mill or potato ricer into a large bowl.
- If you dont have a food mill or ricer, place the potatoes in a large bowl and use a potato masher to mash as smoothly as possible.
- Do not use an electric mixer, as this will cause the potatoes to get starchy and gluey.
- Add the flour and zest to the bowl and begin to incorporate the mixture by hand.
- Using as little mixing as possible, combine the ingredients and lightly knead.
- Cut off medium pieces and roll them into 1/2-inch-diameter ropes on a well-floured surface.
- Using a sharp knife or dough cutter, cut each rope into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Line a pan that will fit in your freezer with waxed paper or parchment paper and put the pieces on the pan.
- If the gnocchi seem too sticky, use a little more flour.
- Place the pan in the freezer until the gnocchi are thoroughly frozen.
- This step can be done up to 3 days in advance.
