Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • Spinach 90g
  • Ricotta Cheese 250g
  • Bread Flour 60g
  • Shrimp 8 pcs
  • Basil 2 leaves
  • Cherry Tomatoes 2 pcs
  • Garlic a little

Seasonings

  • Brandy to taste
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil to taste
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Steps

  1. Briefly boil 90g spinach and squeeze out excess water thoroughly.
  2. Roughly chop the boiled spinach and place it in a food processor.
  3. Add 250g ricotta cheese to the food processor and blend until smooth. [Key Tip!] Ensure no large lumps remain.
  4. Transfer the mixed dough to a bowl.
  5. Add 60g bread flour to the bowl and gently mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork.
  6. Transfer the dough to a piping bag. [Key Tip!] Use a large piping tip, or cut a corner of a plastic bag slightly larger than 1cm.
  7. Prepare the 2 cherry tomatoes by blanching and peeling them.
  8. Heat extra virgin olive oil to taste and minced garlic a little in a frying pan over low heat.
  9. Once the garlic is fragrant, add the 8 shrimp and quickly warm them through.
  10. Lightly season the shrimp with salt to taste. Once cooked, remove from heat.
  11. Add brandy to taste to the frying pan and return to heat.
  12. Ignite the brandy and let the alcohol evaporate.
  13. Once the alcohol has evaporated, add the blanched cherry tomatoes and heat slightly.
  14. Lightly season the tomatoes with salt to taste and cook until softened. Turn off the heat for the sauce.
  15. Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil and add salt to taste (approximately 1% concentration).
  16. Pipe the gnocchi dough from the piping bag and cut into 1cm pieces using a knife, then drop into the boiling water. [Key Tip!] Wetting the knife in the hot water and cutting just below the water surface helps prevent sticking.
  17. Once the gnocchi float to the surface, immediately transfer them to an ice bath to cool.
  18. Just before serving, re-boil the chilled gnocchi in hot water for about 1 minute.
  19. Add the boiled gnocchi to the frying pan with the tomato sauce and gently toss to combine.
  20. Finish by adding salt to taste, extra virgin olive oil to taste, and the hand-torn 2 basil leaves. Mix well.
  21. Plate and serve. Enjoy!
