Ingredients

Gnocchi dough
500 g Potatoes
Saffron, 2 sachets
600 g Coarse salt (for baking)
140 g All-purpose flour (00)
140 g Potato starch
Parmesan Fondue
150 g Milk
150 g Vegetable broth
150 g Grated Parmesan cheese
Nutmeg, to taste
garnish
60 g Cherry tomatoes (semi-dried)
Truffle, to taste

Proceedings

Spread the coarse salt on a baking tray and place the unpeeled potatoes on top.
Bake at 180°C until soft.
Once baked, peel the potatoes while still warm and mash them with a potato ricer.
 

In a bowl, mix the mashed potatoes with saffron, potato starch, and flour.
Knead until smooth, then let the dough rest.

Roll the dough into ropes and cut into small gnocchi pieces. If desired, shape them using a fork.

In a saucepan heat the milk and the vegetable broth. Gradually add the grated Parmesan (previously blended and sifted for extra smoothness), stirring constantly until a creamy sauce forms. Keep warm.

Lay the gnocchi on a tray and cook it.

Spoon a layer of Parmesan fondue onto each plate.
Arrange the gnocchi on top. Garnish with semi-dried cherry tomatoes and thin shavings of truffle.
