I hadn't made gnocchi in a while and had half a zucchini squash and half a sweet potato, so I decided to make gnocchi. They turned out super tasty.

Steps

1 hour

1

First, take the cooked zucchini squash and sweet potato and set them aside.
2

Chop the onions, green bell pepper, and beef. Sauté them with a little oil.
3

Continue sautéing gradually.
4

Next, add the tomato sauce along with a little water and the seasonings. Mix well.
5

Once the sauce is ready, set it aside.
6

Mash the zucchini and sweet potato with a potato masher to make a purée.
7

Add salt and oil, and mix again.
8

Add the flour and mix with a spatula.
9

Remove the dough from the bowl and knead it a little.
10

After kneading for a while, the dough should be smooth.
11

Cut the dough into medium-sized pieces and roll them into ropes. Cut them into gnocchi pieces.
12

Roll each gnocchi over a fork to shape them, set aside, and bring a large pot of water with a pinch of salt to a boil.
13

When the water boils, carefully add the gnocchi.
14

When the gnocchi float to the surface, remove them with a slotted spoon.

Pour a little meat sauce in the serving dish before adding the gnocchi, then add all the gnocchi.

Finally, pour the rest of the sauce on top.
