ingredients

2 cups Simply Potatoes Traditional Mashed Potatoes
1 cup flour
2 egg yolks
24 ounces spicy marinara sauce
4 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese

directions

Add 2 cups of mashed potatoes to a pre heated oven for 15 minutes.
Remove the potatoes and press them through a ricer. Place potatoes on a large cutting board.
On top of the potatoes, add the eggs, and flour and start to combine ingredients until you are able to form a ball. Add more flour so your hands will not stick.
Cut the dough into 4 pieces, and roll each of them into 1 inch logs. Cut the logs down to 1/2 inch pieces.
Roll each piece on the tip of a fork to create ridges in the dough. This makes it easier for the sauce to stick to the dough.
Add each piece to a medium sized sauce pan of boiling water. They will float to the top when they are done. Approximately 7 minutes.
In another medium sized sauce pan pour in the marinara and let it simmer on low heat. When the potato gnocchi has floated to the top, drain the excess water with a strainer and add to the marinara. Gently stir before serving. Top with grated parmesan cheese.
