This preparation transforms a few genuine ingredients into soft, golden diamonds, historically designed to accompany excellent cured meats. An icon of conviviality that has crossed the centuries, confirming itself as an unmissable protagonist of festive tables and the most authentic village festivals

Method

It takes steps in 1 h 40 min

Combine the flour, salt, milk, and water in a bowl and knead until you have a firm, smooth dough

Cover the dough with cling film and let it rest for one hour

Divide the dough into two or three portions and roll it out to a thickness of about two millimeters

Tip: If you use a pasta roller, the correct thickness is the fourth setting starting from the thinnest

Heat a pot with plenty of oil and, once it reaches 180°C, fry the gnocchi one at a time for just a few seconds. When it starts to puff up, turn it over to cook both sides

Storage

The uncooked dough can be stored in the refrigerator, wrapped in cling film, for up to 24 hours. Once fried, it is best consumed immediately, but it can be reheated in the oven the following day.

Cost

The preparation is based on extremely inexpensive staple ingredients that are easily found in any pantry. The overall cost is very low, typical of traditional peasant recipes

Health

Fried gnocco is a high-calorie, high-fat food due to deep-frying. Its refined carbohydrate and fat content makes it a very energy-dense dish that should be consumed in moderation
