Potato Gnocchi Cacio e Pepe
Soft Potato Gnocchi with Delicious Cheesy Cacio and Pepe Sauce. This receipt is for one person so adjust the amount accordingly if required.
Ingredients
- 2/3rds of potatoes
- 1/3rd of flour
- 100-150g of Pecorino cheese
- 1 Teaspoon of grinded pepper
Preparation
To get everything ready, start boiling the potatoes for fourty minutes, and grate the cheese very finely, so using a grater with very small holes. Once the potatoes are ready, to make the Gnocchi mix them with the flour into a dough, then cut the dough into small reclangles of one or two centimeters, and if you want for some little balls, otherwise you can keep the rectangle shape In another pot, put water to boil.
Cooking
Once the water boils salt it and pour the Gnocchi and let them cook for about 3 - 5 minutes. In a pan toast the pepper, then pour some of the water from the pot where Gnocchi are cooking into the pan, and wait for the water to cool down a little bit so that it's not boiling, but it's still hot. Pour the gnocchi as well as the cheese into the pan and mix them with this water so that by emulsifying with the cheese it will form a creamy sauce. Eventually if sauce is too loose you can thicken by heating and mixing carefully as above 70 Celsius Degrees the cheese with melt and stretch thus separating from the water.
These Gnocchi are one of my favorites because I find them easy to make, and they are as well very soft, and combined with the cheesy flavor of the sauce they are really a pleasure for the taste.
Hope you enjoy them!

Espresso Coffee Like at the Bar with Moca Pot
Love coffee and ever wished to make a creamy espresso at home? It's possible! You can achieve it with a moca pot or with a cheap machine.
All you need is a bit of sugar, about 3 tea spoons, to use for making a coffee cream
So first of all make the coffee.
If you use a moca pot make sure to pour an amount of water to fill it just below the metal circle
Then fill the filter completely with coffee.
If you use a machine I believe you dont't need instructions.
Close the moca well and place it on low heat.
when it's ready, the moca should make a typical intermittent sound, so you can turn off the heat.
Take a little bit of that coffe, about half an espresso cup, and pour it over the sugar.
Use your power to mix it well and thus you will have the cream.
Mix a little bit of that cream with some coffee that is waiting in the moca, and then you'll have your creamy espresso!
