Made this sauce last night with some purchased sweet potato gnocchi. It was awesome. Next time I will make the gnocchi too.

Looks pretty yummy and not near as much work as rolling out pasta....I wonder if honey could be used instead of Maple Syrup...

** Adds 'potato ricer' to her list of things she'll buy this week knowing she'll only use it for this recipe!! **
But that's OK, I SOOO can't wait to make these!

Ah! I thought by "scratch", you meant you had broken a promise to yourself (in this case, abstaining from carbs, apparently, heh heh :). I've seen Pasta Sfoglia and it looks beautiful- as are these gnocchi. I made them earlier this year, but with a sieve instead of a ricer!

Garrett,
These sweet potato gnocchi were outstanding! We all loved them. While I was waiting for the water to boil, I quickly made a sauce to serve them with from plum tomatoes from our garden, some onion, garlic, basil, and olive oil. Thank you from bringing them over!

Mm, those look delectable! My husband is a fiend for both maple syrup and sweet potatoes so I have got to make these for him as a surprise.

The sad thing is that I almost bought a ricer when I was in Liepāja and now I'm regretting that I didn't! I'll have to look around for a way to do it without one. :(

Annonymous - More reasons I need to learn to juggle!

Chelsea - Hmm... maybe a scant tablespoon of molasses? You could try to just leave it out all-together and see how that works for ya'.

2009-10-12T14:15:34.991-07:00

I've been dying to cook pasta with sweet potatoes and butternut squash. I'm much more of a savory person than sweet, and so I liked how you balanced the sweetness of the pasta with your sauce. Do you have any ideas for what I could replace the maple syrup with to make the pasta itself a bit less sweet? Thanks!

So weird, not because I just made gnocchi, or cooked sweet potatoes, or bought a potato ricer, but because I just read this about juggling:

These look AMAZING! I, too, have gnocchi on my list of things to do before the end of 2009. Thanks for helping me along with my list too- THESE gnocchi I just can't pass by! YUM!

This recipe looks delicious! We're doing "Sweet Potato Week" on Haute Apple Pie (http://hauteapplepie.wordpress.com) I might have to give this one a try!

I have been looking for a great sweet potato gnocchi recipe, and yours is both simplest and best. I cannot wait to serve this and create my own kitchen disaster.

Patty - I assume to allow the gnocchi more elasticity to puff up more in cooking and to reduce cooking time.

2009-10-12T10:16:45.319-07:00

Gnocchi was one of my favorite dishes from my mother's kitchen. This is a recipe she would have loved to try, she having been a big fan of sweet potatoes...I shall have to make them in memory of her.
Garrett, since my mom always made large batches of gnocchi, we always froze them, but we never let them thaw before cooking. Do you know why thawing might be preferable?

2009-10-12T07:20:45.570-07:00

I can't wait to make these. We make gnocchi a lot but I haven't tried sweet potato. Thanks!

2009-10-12T07:17:20.211-07:00

WOW! Funny timing because I just made sweet potato gnocchi last night with my mom...so weird. Anyhow, we did the recipe that was published in Gourmet's Oct issue (aye only one issue left before they are gone). It was so much work b/c we decided to double the recipe but it was delicious! We will have to try this version...maple syrup = yum! Camille, food mill on the fine disk should work just fine. :)

2009-10-12T02:32:23.487-07:00

This looks just like a little piece of heaven right there!!!

I have a little question though. Do you think a vegetable mill would do the trick if I don't have a potato ricer???

Thanks a million and by the way, I heart your blog!

2009-10-12T00:37:28.185-07:00

I love gnocchi. I also love making them but it's been months. The recipe you posted sounds really heavenly. I find it's therapeutic to make gnocchi. The only problem I have is that we don't real maple syrup here. But I would really love to make these.

2009-10-12T00:12:13.935-07:00

The gnocchi looks fantastic! Hurray you! I'm so tempted to try making it, but my Chinese family would probably just look at it and wonder what the hell I'm serving and whether they should eat something they can't even pronounce. I made fresh pasta before and the rolling out was a real pain, but the silky result was worth it. Try it some time!
