Hazırlanışı

1. place your potatoes on a baking tray and bake in a 375 degree F. preheated oven until they are fork tender. Slice the potatoes in half, and once cool enough to handle use a spoon to scoop out the interior of the potatoes. Use a potato ricer and push all of the potatoes through. Place your riced potatoes in a bowl and add 1 teaspoon of salt and two egg yolks. Add about 3/4 of the flour to the bowl and stir briefly with the spoon to mix. Dump the dough mixture onto a floured surface and knead with your hands, adding the rest of the flour as needed until you have a smooth dough. Knead as briefly as you can to create your dough being careful not to over-work the dough which makes it tough. Break off a fist full of dough and with your fingers roll the dough into a tube. Depending on how thick your tube is will determine how large your gnocchi turn out. Use a sharp knife to cut your gnocchi to the size you desire. (Generally as a rule, I cut them them the same size as they are thick. If I roll my tube one inch thick, I will then cut the gnocchi in one inch pieces.) Although once cut, the gnocchi are fine just the way they are, you can roll your thumb over them to create an indentation which will help them hold the sauce. Once your gnocchi are cut, place them on a lightly floured baking sheet and refrigerate until you are ready to cook them. heat the oil over medium heat until lightly smoking, then add the guanciale until it is no longer pink, about 6 minutes. Add the onions and cook until lightly browned, about 8 minutes, then add the garlic and cook another minute or two unitil fragrant. Add the wine and cook over medium heat until the wine has just about completely evaporated, about 18 to 20 minutes. Add the cream, and season with salt and pepper. Let the sauce cool a bit, then transfer it to a food processor or blender and process until creamy smooth. Return the sauce to the saucepan and keep warm. To cook the gnocchi drop them into a large pot of lightly salted water and as soon as most of them rise to the top (a few minutes) they are cooked. Drain the gnocchi, then return to the pot. Add the sauce and grated pecorino cheese to the pot and gently toss to coat. Serve, offering additional cheese at the table.
