Chestnut gnocchi with speck are a first course that combines the delicate and slightly sweet taste of chestnuts with the intense flavor of speck, creating a harmony of flavors perfect for autumn.
The softness of the gnocchi, prepared with chestnut flour, contrasts with the crunchiness and smoky flavor of speck, offering a rich and satisfying taste experience.
Ideal for a lunch or dinner that celebrates seasonal products, these gnocchi go well with simple condiments, such as melted butter and sage, or with a light cream cheese, thus enhancing the contrast between the sweetness of the chestnuts and the strong flavor of the speck.
A rustic and sophisticated dish, perfect for warming up autumn evenings.
Knead the flours with the rum, adding water and salt to obtain a smooth dough. With the dough, form cylinders and cut into 2 cm pieces. Pass each piece through the prongs of a fork or a special wooden tool (see photo) to give them the typical grooves.
Cut the leek into thin slices, and the Speak into cubes, brown everything in a pan with the butter, add the cheese cut into small pieces and let it melt for half a minute, stirring continuously. Add the cream and cook for 2 minutes.
Boil the gnocchi in plenty of salted water, drain and pour them into the pan with the sauce. Mix and serve hot
