Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1

    Boil the potato in a pot of water for about 10-12 minutes until tender. Drain and let cool slightly before peeling.

  2. 2

    Mash the boiled potato in a large bowl until smooth.

  3. 3

    Add 1 cup of all-purpose flour, nutmeg, and salt to the mashed potato. Mix until a soft dough forms.

  4. 4

    On a floured surface, divide the dough into two portions. Roll each portion into a long rope about 1/2 inch in diameter.

  5. 5

    Cut each rope into 1-inch pieces to form the gnocchi. Optionally, press a fork onto each piece to create ridges.

  6. 6

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook until they float to the top, about 2-3 minutes.

  7. 7

    Drain the gnocchi and toss them in a pan with olive oil and vegan pesto over medium heat for 1-2 minutes until heated through.

  8. 8

    Serve immediately, garnished with chopped fresh basil.
