Prep:- Prick the potatoes with a fork, then microwave until cooked (8-10mns)
Chop the onion
Chop the garlic
Grate the ginger
Trim the Asparagus by snapping or chopping the ends off.
Shred the Kale
Use scissors to cut the ham into small pieces
Slice the Peperami thinly on the diagonal so they look like longer pieces
Once the potatoes have cooled, remove the skin and place in a large bowl, then mash,....don't add anything to the mash.
Once you have a smooth mash, add the flour and mix through. (you can add an egg but I didn't have any)
Knead until it forms a dough
Roll it out on a floured board to a sausage shape
Cut into half-inch pieces.
Press them down with a fork until they are curved.
Set aside till later
Switch on the Foodi to Sear/Saute Level 3.
Add the butter, onion, garlic, and ginger.
Stir through.
Add the Parma ham, Gnocchi, tinned tomatoes, and water ( use the can to measure)
Chop up the tomatoes if using whole.
Add the Sweet chilli sauce, Paprika, and chilli flakes,
Stir through
Add the Asparagus. Let them submerge in the sauce, but don't stir.
Close the lid, lower the temp to level 2, and let it cook for 5mns. This thickens the sauce.
Open the lid and add the Spring onion
Add the Kale, but keep a little for garnish later. Peperami, S&P.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed
(I added a little more spring onion and water)
To Serve. Divide the Gnocchi and broth mixture into 2 bowls, place the Asparagus on top, and sprinkle over the Parmesan.
Garnish with kale.
Enjoy
