Preparation method:
Boil unpeeled potatoes until cooked, cool and then peel.
Force peeled boiled potatoes through the strainer without adding any liquid to make a thick puree.
Make dough for the gnocchi: add flour and egg to the potato puree, mixing well. The dough should be supple.
Roll the dough into a thin log, then cut it crosswise into 2.5 cm pieces. Using a fork press all pieces of dough from one side down.
Use blender to make pesto sauce: combine capers, Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic, walnuts and olive oil, blend all ingredients on a low speed into a smooth mixture.
In the 8 litre Dutch oven bring water to the boil, salt it, then place gnocchi into salted boiling water and cook for 1-2 min.
Transfer cooked gnocchi to a serving bowl and pour pesto sauce over them. You can also use ready-made pesto from a shop or substitute it with any other sauce.
