1

Poke holes in the potatoes and bake at 400 degrees for about 1 hour until cooked.

2

Prepare an ice bath for blanching arugula.

3

Blanch the arugula in salted water for a few seconds, then transfer to the ice bath to keep it green.

4

Chop the blanched arugula to help it blend easier.

5

In a blender, combine the chopped arugula, ricotta cheese, a little olive oil, black pepper, and salt to make a puree with a firm consistency.

6

Once the potatoes are baked, cut them in half and scoop out the insides into a ricer to break them down without chunks.

7

Let the riced potatoes cool for a bit before making the dough.

8

Add double zero flour, egg yolk, Italian sea salt, and nutmeg to the cooled potatoes and mix gently to avoid making the gnocchi chewy.

9

On a floured surface, divide the dough and roll each portion into a long rope, then cut into pieces about three-quarters of an inch thick.

10

Use a gnocchi board to shape each piece, creating ridges and a dimple in the center.

11

Prepare a stock using vegetable scraps, carrots, celery, onion, and garlic in a pressure cooker to enhance flavor.

12

Dice the vegetables for the stock and add them to the pressure cooker along with the skins from the onion and garlic cloves.

13

Add copa, morel mushrooms, mitake mushrooms, and dried porcini mushrooms to the stock for flavor.
