Meat Sauce
http://www.ariosto.it/en/recipes/pasta-recipes/710-gnocchi-with-hearty-meat-sauce.html
Ingredients
7 oz (200
g)
potato gnocchi (dumpling
pasta)
3.5 oz
(100 g) of mixed ground pork and/or beef
4 slices
of raw prosciutto ham
2.6 oz
(about 75 g)
tomato sauce/puree
1/2 a
glass of red wine -
Ariosto Stewed
Meat Seasoning
1 shallot
- oil and salt, to taste
Directions
Put the
chopped shallots and a bit of oil in a pan, and let it cook.
After that, add the minced
meat, cooking it well on slow heat. Now add a pinch of salt (not too much
because the ham is already quite salty), and
Ariosto's seasoning
for sauces
, to taste.
Once the meat has cooked, stir in the red wine, and
finish by adding a little color with the tomato puree.
Meanwhile, put enough water in a pot to cook the gnocchi,
with a pinch of salt. Finish cooking your sauce by adding the raw chopped ham,
making a nice mixture. When your water comes to a full rolling boil,
immerse the gnocchi, and get a large, ceramic serving bowl ready to bring the
gnocchi to the table. Wait until the gnocchi float to the surface of the water
- that's how you know they are cooked and ready.
Then drain them from the water, putting them in your
serving bowl, and toss with your meat sauce.
A simple idea, but one that will deliciously amaze you.
