Instructions
Step 1: The sweet potato gnocchi dough
Peel the sweet potato and cut it into cubes. Cook in boiling water for about 20 minutes. (Another possibility: baking in the oven, see above .
Drain and mash the mashed sweet potato. In a bowl, pour the flour, salt, Parmesan, mashed sweet potatoes and egg. Mix well to form a dough.
Step 2: Shape the gnocchi
To shape the gnocchi take a good spoonful of dough and form a sausage about 1 to 2 cm in diameter. Do not hesitate to flour your work surface to prevent the dough from sticking too much.
Then cut the sausage into small 1 cm sections.
Boil water and put the gnocchi directly to cook. As soon as they rise to the surface, they are cooked. You can drain them and set them aside in a bowl of cold water while you cook the rest.
Step 3: Kale and Parmesan Gnocchi
Heat a little oil in a pan and brown the gnocchi. Add the finely chopped garlic and herbs. Add salt and pepper. Sauté until the gnocchi are lightly golden.
Remove and set aside.
Remove the stems from the kale and cut the leaves into pieces. Sauté them in the pan with a little olive oil. Add the water, just a little to keep the kale crunchy but not crisp!
Once the water has evaporated, add the gnocchi. Readjust the seasoning (salt and pepper) if necessary. Grate Parmesan and serve immediately.
