Recipe

Preparation Time: 45 mins Cook Time: 5 mins Ready Time: 1 hr 5 mins


• process the potatoes, peas, garlic, ginger, wasabi, salt, and pepper in a food processor until the mixture is evenly green. add the egg and process again until the egg is just incorporated. add 1 cup of the flour and process until just mixed; transfer to a bowl. being careful to not over mix, gently work the remaining cup of flour into the mixture until it forms a sticky dough. cover with plastic wrap and store in refrigerator until chilled to help make it easier to roll.
• working on a well-floured surface with about 1/2 cup of the mixture at a time, roll into a rope about 1/2 inch in diameter. cut the rope into 1-inch segments using a floured knife. continue until all the dough has been used.
• bring a large pot of lightly-salted water to a boil. add the gnocchi, making sure to not overcrowd in the pot; return to a boil. cook until the gnocchi floats to the top, about 3 minutes; drain.
