- pesto
- 1 bunch Parsley
- 1/4 cup Grated Parm
- 1/4 cup Almonds
- 1 clove Garlic
- Salt and Pepper
- gnocchi bun
- 1 1/2 cups Potato Flakes
- 1 1/4 cup Hot Water
- 1 Egg
- 1 cup Flour
- other
- Italian Sausages
- Caramelized Onions
Instructions
- Mix the pesto ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth.
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil
- Mix the water and potato flakes in a bowl and stir until it becomes mashed potatoes. Season with salt. Stir in the egg and flour and mix to form the dough.
- Transfer dough to a work surface and knead for a minute or less until it comes together. Don't over knead.
- Cut the dough into 4 equal pieces. Form them into logs and sprinkle with flour. Use a dowel that is a similar width as the sausages and wrap the dough around it, pushing it against the work surface on 4 sides to flatten and form it into a square. Make sure the top touches. Drop the whole thing into the boiling water and cook about 4 - 5 minutes. Remove from water and carefully remove the dough from the dowel. Put the bun on an oiled surface and repeat with the rest of the dough balls.
- Meanwhile, cook the sausages.
- Put the cooked sausages into the "buns" and sear them on all 4 sides in a hot nonstick pan with plenty of oil or butter.
- Remove from the pan, top with the onions and pesto, and serve.
