Tender sweet potato gnocchi with aromatic creamy cheese sauce, ham and sage

  1. Peel the sweet potato, cut into cubes and boil until tender (about 15-20 minutes). Drain, mash into puree and cool completely.
  2. Add the egg and salt to the cooled puree, mix well.
  3. Gradually add flour and semolina, knead a soft, slightly sticky dough. Add more flour if needed.
  4. Dust the work surface with flour. Roll the dough into ropes 2 cm thick and cut into 2 cm pieces. Dust gnocchi with flour.
  5. Bring salted water to a boil. Cook gnocchi in batches: they are done when they float to the surface (2-3 minutes). Remove with a slotted spoon.

  7. Add processed cheese and 3-4 tbsp of gnocchi cooking water. Stir until smooth.
