"Sweet potatoes are well known for their bright orange color. But you can also find them in a beautiful violet. I bought some imported ones from Japan and made Gnocchi with them."

ingredients
- 400 g violet Sweet Potatoes
- 20 gram grated Parmesan
- 1 Egg
- 100 g Spelt Flour
- 300 ml Tomato Sauce
- 100 g Bacon Bits
- 2 clove chopped Garlic
- 100 g Sour Cream
- Basil leaves
- Salt
- Pepper
- Chili
- Rosemary
Method
Step 1
Pinch the sweet potatoes with a fork and roast them on a baking tray at 200 C for 45 minutes until soft. Let cool slightly.
Step 2
Scrape the potatoes out of their skin and mash it with a fork. Now add egg, spelt flour, and parmesan cheese and knead to a not too sticky dough. Roll finger thick rolls and cut into small pieces.
Step 3
I did not roll them on the traditional wooden tool for gnocchi, but I marked them with the meat tenderizer. For once they will look a bit different.
Step 4
For the sauce chop the garlic and fry with the bacon bits in a deep pot. Add the tomato sauce and let simmer for 10 minutes. Add the sour cream, chopped basil leaves and mix well. Season to taste.
Step 5
Meanwhile cook the gnocchi in salted boiling water until the float. Drain them and add them to the sauce. Serve immediately!
