Prep Time:90 min
Cooking Time:5 min This recipe takes only 5 to cook
Difficulty:Intermediate
Regions(s):Trentino-Alto Adige.

Ingredients
1000g potatoes
400g nettle leaves
250g flour
2 eggs
salt and pepper
sage
100g butter
grated parmesan cheese
Method
Clean the nettle leaves (please wear rubber gloves) choosing the youngest and most tender. Toss them in boiling water for a few minutes until cooked. Drain them and leave them in the colander. Boil the potatoes with their peel. When cooked, peel them and mash them. Blend the nettle leaves in the food processor then mix them with the mashed potatoes. Add to 2 eggs to the mixture and blend well, seasoning with salt and pepper. Add some of the flour and keep adding it only if needed to get the right texture: not too soft not too hard.  Prepare small gnocchi, cutting little cylinders. Toss them, a few at a time, in salted boiling water; when they come back to the surface they are ready (few minutes).  In the meantime heat the butter with the sage leaves in a pan until a light white foam is fomed on the surface. Arrange the gnocchetti in plates and pour the hot melted butter, aromatised with sage, on them. Sprinkle abundant grated parmesan and serve immediately.
