Easy Homemade Potato Gnocchi

The first thing to do is to clean and wash the potatoes. Without peeling them,

put them into a pot with salted water and let them boil.

Peel the steamed potatoes while they are still warm, then mash them and put them on a well-floured working desk or tray.
Add a pinch of salt and some flour, and knead until the mixture is firm but soft.

Now add the egg and continue to knead until the dough is compact.

Then, divide the dough into many long strands/stripes, each 2-3 cm thick, and cut them to make your gnocchi on a floured surface.

Finally, practice the typical scorings by rolling each “dump” with the fork and squeezing them a little, but not too much.

Let your gnocchi rest for about 15 minutes, then cook them in a pot with salty, boiling water and drain them when they rise to the surface.

These are the three ingredients you'll need to make gnocchi at home:
Potatoes: Use starchy potatoes, such as russets.
Flour: All-purpose flour absorbs moisture and helps create gluten.
Egg: An egg lends moisture and acts as a binder, which helps hold the dumplings together.
Salt: Salt enhances the overall flavor.

We went to Chioggia, and I had a wonderful time
Thank you for your mail. Everything worked out fine. We went to Chioggia, and I had a wonderful time at the Tenuta. Stefano did an exceptional job in the cooking class. I can say the same for the rest of the staff—always friendly and providing a warm and welcoming service. Also, my room (18) is beautiful and comfortable.
I will recommend the place and class to my friends.
With my very best regards.

Unforgettable Experience!!

The cookery class was beyond expectations - we learned so very much about cooking methods, food choice and preparation. Chef Zamboni is a wealth of knowledge and passionate about Italian cuisine.

I had the best time! Perfect getaway from the stressful life in the city. 3-days of eating good food. Vittorio was so kind to arrange a trip to the Delta Po and wine-tasting! Gianluca was extremely nice and welcoming. Simone is an amazing chef! I would surely come back.

Cooking course and connecting to nature

I booked a 3-day cooking course and 5-day accommodation at Castel Venezze to treat myself.

First, the Castel is a 16 century estate that offers charm, history, grounds to walk in for hours, and swimming pools, weather permitting. I stayed in a charming room, but it is possible to rent independent villas on the grounds (less than a minute away, on foot, from the cooking course location).
