Directions

1Preheat oven to 235°C. Set pierced and cleaned potatoes directly on the wire and cook for approx 45 minutes or until tender and soft when pierced.

2Remove from oven and slice each potato lengthwise and scoop out the white flesh, into a bowl. Season with salt and pepper and mash well with a fork. Mix in 3 tablespoons of the egg (discard any remaining egg). Then sift the flour over the potato mixture and mix just until blended. Shape into a ball gently.

3Divide the ball into 4 equal sections. Take one piece and roll into a snake shape approx 20 cm long and 1.5 cm deep using your palms (no fingers). Add a dust of flour if needed. Then cut the dough into 3cm pieces and place on a dusted tray. Repeat above for other 3 sections of dough until you have a tray of gnocchi.

4Take a fork and gently press the tines into the top of each piece of gnocchi to form a ridge pattern on each piece.

5Melt the Nuttelex in a heavy based pan over a medium heat until it begins to bubble, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat. Add the salt, and herbs. Set aside.

6Place gnocchi in a large pot of boiling salted water until the gnocchi rise to the surface, about 1 minute. Continue cooking until the gnocchi are tender, about 3-4 minutes longer.

7Using a slotted spoon, take gnocchi over to your pan with the Nuttelex and herbs and gently toss adding pine nuts and cheese. Serve immediately
