Seafood gnocchi is a rich, tasty first course with a hint of the sea. For this dish, I made homemade potato gnocchi and seasoned them with a seafood and cherry tomato sauce. For the best results, I recommend using fresh and quality products. Once ready, the seafood gnocchi will emit an irresistible aroma that will enchant your guests.

Preparation
To make the seafood gnocchi, boil the peeled potatoes in salted water. Once cooked, drain them and mash them with a potato masher while still hot, letting them fall into a large bowl.
Salt the potatoes, then add the egg, flour and knead until obtaining a homogeneous and smooth dough.
Then transfer the obtained mixture to a pastry board, or a work surface, form small rolls with your hands and cut small cylinders with a knife, the gnocchi.
Wash and clean the mussels and clams under running water. In a large pan, heat a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and then add the mussels and clams, cover with a lid and cook until they are completely open.
Then remove the empty shells and shell only part of them; for the seafood sauce, I use mussels and clams with the shell because it is the latter that gives flavor.
Wash and clean the squid (or calamari) and cut them into cubes (or strips). In a pan, sauté the chopped garlic with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and chopped parsley. Then add the squid, deglaze with white wine until evaporation, then salt and cook for a few minutes.
Add the cherry tomatoes, washed and quartered, cook adding a ladle of water to ensure that the sauce does not dry out, until the end of cooking.
After about 15 minutes add the washed and cleaned shrimp (or prawns) and cook for another 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and add the mussels and clams to the pan, mix with a wooden spoon to combine the sauce. Adjust salt.
Cook the gnocchi in boiling salted water, as soon as they float, drain them and pour them into the pan with the sauce.
Stir them gently to mix well with the sauce.
Serve and enjoy your meal!
