Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

***GNOCCHI***

3 eggs -- separated

8 1/2 cups water

Salt

1 pinches freshly ground black pepper

1 cup matzo meal -- up to 2

***FRESH TOMATO SAUCE***

1/4 cup olive oil

1 onion -- diced fine

4 tomatoes -- finely diced

1 tablespoon sugar

6 basil leaves -- minced

1 dashes Salt

1 dashes pepper

 

Beat egg yolks, 1/2 cup water, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste

with fork in small bowl. Set aside.

 

Beat egg whites in large bowl until stiff peaks form; do not over-beat.

Gently fold yolk mixture alternately with matzo meal into egg whites

until well blended. Use only enough matzo meal to make light, firm

dough. Cover and let rest 5 minutes.

 

Bring remaining 8 cups water to boil with salt to taste. Spoon dough

into pastry bag with 1/2-inch round opening. Hold pastry bag over

simmering water and squeeze out dough in 1-inch lengths, cutting each

piece off at tip of tube with sharp knife. Cover and simmer 5 minutes;

do not remove cover during cooking time.

 

Carefully remove gnocchi from water with slotted spoon and add to Fresh

Tomato Sauce. Serve immediately.

 

To make sauce: Heat olive oil in skillet over high heat. When hot, add

onion and saute until softened, about 2 minutes. Add tomatoes and sugar

and saute 2 to 3 minutes. Add basil and salt and pepper to taste, and

mix well. Keep warm. 4 to 6 servings.
