Spinach Gnocchi with Sundried Tomato White Sauce
- 1- 1/2 cup Sun-dried Tomatoes
- 2 whole Large Russet Potatoes
- 1 cup Frozen Spinach
- 1 Egg
- 1 cup Whole White Wheat Flour, Plus 3 Tablespoons, Divided
- 2- 1/2 cups Milk
- 1/2 cups Grated Parmesan Cheese
- 1/2 teaspoons Salt
- 1- 1/2 teaspoon Rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Basil
- 18 teaspoons Pepper
- Place the sundried tomatoes in a small bowl and with enough water to cover them.
- Leave them to soak.
- Wrap the potatoes in wet paper towels and microwave them for 15 to 20 minutes, until they are soft and cooked throughout.
- Sometime during microwaving the potatoes, put the frozen spinach in a bowl with some water and microwave it along with the potatoes for a few minutes until it has thawed.
- Squeeze as much water as you can out of the spinach.
- Peel the cooked potatoes and place them in a large bowl along with the egg, spinach, and a few dashes of salt.
- Use a hand mixer on the lowest setting to the ingredients together until there are no chunks of potatoes left.
- If tiny potato bits remain, mash the mixture with a fork until they disappear.
- On a floured surface, knead 1 cup of flour into the potato mixture.
- Divide the dough into 8 parts and roll each into a rope 8 or so inches long and 3/4 inch in diameter.
- Cut the ropes into 1/2-inch segments.
- Remove the sundried tomatoes from their soaking water.
- Using kitchen shears, cut them into small pieces.
- In a medium saucepan whisk together the milk and remaining 3 tablespoons flour.
- Bring the mixture to a low boil, stirring constantly.
- Then add the parmesan.
- Reduce to a simmer and stir frequently as the sauce thickens, about 15 minutes.
- After the sauce has reduce by a bit less than half or has thickened to your liking, add 1/2 teaspoon salt, spices, and sundried tomatoes.
- Remove the sauce from the heat.
- Bring lightly salted water to a boil in a pot.
- Add the gnocchi in batches.
- Remove them when they float to the top of the water; that is when they are done.
- Enjoy!
