Home made potatoes gnocchi in pink sauce and basil

Instructions

1. Boil the peeled potatoes in salted water until tender. Drain and let them cool slightly.
2. Mash the potatoes until smooth. Add flour, beaten egg, and salt. Mix until a dough forms.
3. On a floured surface, divide the dough into sections. Roll each section into a long rope about 1 inch thick.
4. Cut the ropes into 1-inch pieces. Roll each piece over the back of a fork to create ridges.
5. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the gnocchi in batches until they float to the surface. Remove and set aside.
6. In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
7. Add tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in whole milk and heavy cream. Simmer until the sauce thickens.
8. Add grated parmesan cheese and stir until melted. Season with salt and black pepper.
9. Add the cooked gnocchi to the sauce. Stir gently to coat the gnocchi evenly.
10. Serve the gnocchi hot, garnished with fresh chopped basil.
