A Vegetarian vs. Meat Based Challenge
Manage episode 308473994 series 1728049
Faced with the task of creating a delicious, filling meal without meat, River chose to make homemade potato gnocchi in a pesto sauce. This is a recipe that the family will be making again.
Much more comfortable with his task, Terran stepped up the pasta game and crafted a multi-layer meat lasagna with sausage and ground beef. He opted for meat from grass-fed, organic sources to create this family favorite.
Vegan Pesto Gnocchi Ingredients- 2 large russet potatoes
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour, more as needed
- 2 cups fresh basil
- 2 tbsp pine nuts
- ½ cup olive oil
- 1-2 cloves of garlic
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Prick potatoes with fork and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until tender when poked with fork.
- Allow potatoes to cool, peel, and mash thoroughly (or use a potato ricer, like we did)
- Combine mashed potato, salt, olive oil, and flour in a large mixing bowl. It is recommended that you use your hands to ensure that the ingredients are fully combined.
- Form the mixture into a ball, using small amounts of flour as necessary to alleviate any overly sticky texture.
- Take a small section of dough, and leave the rest in a covered bowl. Form small balls of dough of equal size. slide the balls on upside-down fork with your thumb to create the traditional grooved gnocchi shape.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook half the gnocchi until they’ve floated for one minute (approximately five minutes). Remove from the water.
- Repeat with the second half of the gnocchi.
- Combine pesto ingredients in food processor
- Warm pesto and pour over cooked gnocchi.
- Enjoy!
