Instructions
For Plantain Gnocchi
- Cut the ends of plantains and then cut them into 2-3 pieces with the skin on. Boil in salted water for 20 minutes or until they soften
- Remove from water and peel the plantains. Puree the pieces using a potato ricer
- Add the oil, salt, pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg, and sugar to the pureed plantains. Mix well with a spoon. Let this mixture cool for a few minutes before adding the egg and flour
- Add the egg yolk and mix until completely combined. Add the flour and knead with your hands until the dough comes together
- Place dough on a floured surface and cut into fourths. Work with one-fourth at a time for easier handling
- With your fingers, roll dough into a long rope. Cut into 1-inch pieces. Repeat with the other 3 sections of dough
- Shape the pasta by rolling each one on the back of a fork (optional)
- Cook the gnocchi in a large salted pot of water. They will be ready when they start to float. About 2-3 minutes. Drain
- Finally, melt butter on medium heat in a skillet. Place cooked gnocchis and stir them until browned on both sides. Top with four-cheese sauce
For Four-Cheese Sauce
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat
- When the butter is melted, add the flour and whisk until incorporated and the flour is cooked (about 45 seconds to 1 minute)
- Add the warm milk and whisk vigorously to avoid lumps. Keep whisking until the sauce starts getting thick and creamy. Add the salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
- When sauce becomes creamy, add the Sargento® Shredded 4 Cheese Mexican and the Sargento® Shredded 4 State Cheddar Cheese. Stir with a spoon until melted. Taste for seasoning and make the necessary adjustments.
- Pour sauce over pasta
- Enjoy!
