Servings:
- 1
To prepare the gnocchi alla carbonara, first boil the potatoes starting from cold water, calculating about 30-40 minutes from boiling 1. When they are soft enough to be pierced with a fork, drain and peel them 2. Mash the potatoes in a bowl using a potato masher 3.
- 2
Place the mashed potatoes on the pastry board, creating a hollow in the center, then pour in the flour 4, a pinch of salt 5 and the egg 6.
- 3
Start gathering the ingredients with the help of a scraper 7, then continue working with your hands 8 until you get a smooth and homogeneous dough 9.
- 4
Divide the dough into small portions 10, then form rolls 11, lightly flouring the work surface 12.
- 5
Cut the rolls into small pieces 13, then pass them over the tines of a fork to create the typical ridges 14. Place the gnocchi on a lightly floured tray 15.
- 6
Move on to the dressing: pour the guanciale into a very hot pan 16 and brown it over medium heat until it becomes crispy 17. Drain the browned guanciale to collect the cooking juices 18 and set aside.
- 7
Put the egg yolks in a bowl together with the grated Pecorino 19, then add some of the guanciale cooking juices while stirring with a whisk to mix everything 20. Season with pepper to taste 21.
- 8
Place the bowl on a saucepan and continue to stir the mixture in a bain-marie for a couple of minutes 22. In the meantime, bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the gnocchi 23; add a drop of oil to the boiling water to prevent them from sticking. As soon as the gnocchi come to the surface, drain and transfer them to a bowl 24.
- 9
If necessary, dilute the egg and Pecorino mixture with a little cooking water 25, then pour it into the bowl with the gnocchi 26 and mix well 27.
- 10
Plate the gnocchi 28 and add the crispy guanciale 29. Complete with a grind of pepper and more cheese to taste. Your gnocchi alla carbonara are ready to be served 30!
