  2. 2.Boil both in salt water or in a steam cooker until well done and soft (approx. 10-15 minutes)
  3. 3.Cook the potatoes in salt water until they are soft, peel them while still hot and press them into a bowl using a potato press
  4. 4.Add the soft parsnip and cauli flower and mash them using a fork
  5. 5.Add flour and mix everything well – best done by hand
  6. 6.Add durum wheat flour and spices – depending on the consistency you may need some more flour
  7. 7.The dough should have a good grip – keep it refrigerated for 30 minutes
  8. 8.Bring some slightly salted water to boil, reduce the heat
  9. 9.Place the dough on a floured surface, cut off pieces, roll them into snakes and then cut off the individual gnocchi and roll them a bit
  10. 10.Add them to the water in the pot – make sure the water doesn’t boil (bubble)
  11. 11.The gnocchi are done when they swim on the surface. Take them out with a skimmer and let the water rinse off

  5. 5.Cut the sage leaves in fine stripes and add them to the pan along with the spices
  6. 6.Deglaze with balsamic vinegar and continue to fry for 5 minutes
  7. 7.Serve with the gnocchi

Notes

Tip from my kitchen: Press the potatoes through a ricer while still hot and work in the flour gradually until the dough has a good grip – chilling it for 30 minutes makes it easier to shape. Raw shaped gnocchi freeze beautifully: pre-freeze them on a floured tray, then drop them straight from frozen into water that is only gently simmering. My favorite way is to pan-fry them in vegan butter until crispy and serve the balsamic bell pepper and sage vegetables alongside.
