GNOCCHI WITH CREAMY TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Peel potatoes, cut in quarters and add to pot. Cook until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes. Drain, cool and mash.

• 3. While gnocchi dough rests, melt 2 tablespoons butter in skillet and cook onion over medium-high heat until starting to soften . Add minced garlic, stir together with onion, then lower heat to medium until both onion and garlic are quite soft. Add tomato sauce, bring to boil, then lower heat. Measure cream into glass measuring cup and let sit on stove to get slightly warm. Watch sauce and stir occasionally so it reduces while attending to making the gnocchi.
• 4. Divide ball of dough into quarters. Shape each quarter of the dough into a long "snake". On a floured surface, cut snake into half-inch pieces. Roll each piece against the tines of a fork and toss in a bit of flour before putting into a bowl. Continue with remaining dough.

• 6. Gradually add slightly warmed cream to tomato sauce, stirring constantly. Taste and add sugar, salt and pepper to taste.

• 8. Turn up heat in pot to rolling boil. Drop in gnocchi and cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until gnocchi have risen to the top; drain. Place in serving dish and add creamy tomato sauce on top. Garnish with breadcrumbs and parsley.
