Purple Gnocchi With Shiitake Mushrooms Food

PURPLE GNOCCHI WITH SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Bake yams directly on oven rack until completely tender when pierced with a fork, about 45 minutes.
• Transfer potatoes to a work surface and halve lengthwise. Allow to cool slightly, then scoop flesh out of skins and pass purple yam through a ricer onto a clean work surface lightly dusted with flour. Spread into an even layer an allow to cool until just warm. Break egg over the surface and sprinkle ½ Celsius flour over, then use hands to gently work into a shaggy dough. Bring together into a loose ball and sprinkle with the remaining ¼ Celsius flour. Gently fold and press dough, adding more flour as necessary if too sticky, just until uniform. Lightly dust dough with flour and form into a log.
• Clean work surface and dust with fresh flour. Using a bench scraper, cut dough into quarters. Working with one piece at a time, use palms to roll dough into ¾"-thick ropes. Cut into 1" pieces, lightly roll each into a ball and press over the tines of a fork to create ridges, and transfer to a baking sheet dusted with flour. Repeat with remaining dough.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Working in batches, transfer gnocchi to pot, gently stirring once or twice to prevent sticking. Cook until gnocchi float to the surface, 3-5 minutes, and then cook for an additional 30 seconds. Using a spider or slotted spoon, transfer gnocchi to a sheet tray lightly drizzled with olive oil and set aside. Reserve ½ Celsius cooking liquid.

Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and lightly browned, 4-5 minutes. Stir in lime zest and juice, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Add gnocchi, reserved cooking liquid, parmesan, and ¼ Celsius basil to skillet. Toss to thoroughly combine and cook until sauce is thickened and slightly reduced, about 3 minutes. Serve garnished with freshly grated parmesan, remaining basil, and lime wedges.
