INGREDIENTS
INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Mix the flour with the bread crumbs and saffron and then place like a fountain on a pastry board. Add a pinch of salt and enough warm water to form a homogeneous mixture. Cover and let rest for 40 minutes in the heat.
  2. Browse the rosemary and sage, then chop finely with the garlic. Peel the Jerusalem artichokes and cut into small pieces, then toss with a little olive oil, a pinch of salt and the 3 chopped herbs. Pour into a thick-bottomed pan, put the lid on and cook for 15-20 minutes on low heat. Wet, if needed, with a little water.
  3. Gather the lemon zest and parsley in a small bowl, add the chopped olives and tomatoes, well drained and cutted into strips.
  4. Take some of the dough at a time and roll it on the table, giving it the shape of a breadstick (more or less thick, according to taste), flour them and then cut into long cylinders about half a centimeter.
  5. Boil the gnocchi in salted water for 5 minutes, drain not too dry directly into the pan with the artichokes, add the olive mixture, stir and serve.
