The protagonist of this recipe: Pecorino Romano PDO
Presentation
The Gnocchi alla Sorrentina are a first course of the Campania tradition. They are so loved and handed down by grandmothers who love the genuineness of homemade pasta. For a real dish of Gnocchi alla Sorrentina, the gnocco must be homemade. Its flavor brings to mind the taste of the Italian tradition: abundant tomato sauce, stringy mozzarella, pecorino cheese and the scent of basil. Its success lies in its simplicity and its flavor that smells of home and memories. Also try the potato gnocchi with truffles.

Method
Gnocchi preparation


First, wash the red potatoes under running water to remove any residue, then pour them into a pot with water and cook for 30-40 minutes. Once ready, pour them into the potato masher, or if you prefer, after peeling them, you can mash them with a fork.


Now add a sprinkling of nutmeg to the mashed potato mixture to taste, two eggs and a pinch of salt. Start kneading quickly until you get a homogeneous, soft and compact consistency.


Once the right consistency is obtained, you can start preparing the gnocchi. Meanwhile, boil the water for the gnocchi. Now take a part of the dough and create loaves with a thickness of about 2-3 cm. Cut the loaf and get gnocchi. If you have the rigagnocchi you can give it an extra touch, or you can also create the lines with the prongs of a fork.


Now that the gnocchi are ready to cook, pour them into the water and drain them after a few minutes. Pour the garlic clove into a pan with the oil and add the tomato sauce.
For the tomato sauce


Pour the tomato sauce into a pan and season with salt and oil to taste. Then add the freshly cooked potato gnocchi.


Still in the pan (or if you prefer in a pyrophile) add the mozzarella into small pieces and continue to mix with the heat off.


Keep stirring until you reach a gooey consistency. For a special touch we served the gnocchi with a previously prepared Pecorino Romano wafer.


For the final touch, add plenty of Pecorino Romano and basil leaves. Have a good meal!
