WHAT

DO YOU HOPE VETERANS TAKE AWAY FROM THEIR EXPERIENCE AT CAMP?

I hope our veterans that come to CSG will come away feeling supported and have new tools to help with the transition home. I hope they find new paths to applying their gifts to things that serve them and their families. I hope they know how much they are appreciated. God bless America. They did not give giant pieces of their life for nothing.

Sweet Potato GNOCCHI

SweetPotato GNOCCHI

with tomato white wine sauce

Ingredients

Gnocchi

2 medium sweet potatoes

(about 2 cups once mashed)

1/2 cup whole milk ricotta

1 large egg

2-3 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon kosher salt

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.

1/2 cup shaved parmesan cheese TomatoWhiteWineSauce

6 tablespoons salted butter

1 shallot, chopped

2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves

2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary

1/2 cup Z. Alexander Brown Uncaged Sauvignon Blanc

1 pinch cayenne pepper, kosher salt, and pepper

2. Poke a few holes in the sweet potatoes and bake for 45 minutes or until soft and tender. Once cooled, finely mash or puree them.

3. In a large bowl, mix together the sweet potatoes, ricotta, egg, salt, and flour until just combined. If the dough seems wet, add a tablespoon of flour at a time, until it can be formed into a sticky ball of dough.

4. Generously flour a clean counter and cut the dough into four equal pieces. Roll the dough into a rope about 1 inch thick and cut into bite size pieces. Repeat this process with each dough ball.

5. Place the gnocchi on a baking sheet that has been dusted with flour.

6. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Boil the gnocchi until they float to the top and are cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon.

6. To make the sauce. Heat the butter and shallot in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook until the shallot is fragrant and the butter begins to brown, about 3-5 minutes. Stir in the thyme and rosemary and cook 1 minute. Add the wine, tomatoes, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Simmer the sauce for 3-5 minutes. *If the sauce thickens up, add a splash of the gnocchi cooking water to thin it a bit.

7. Heat butter in a pan and cook gnocchi until there is a slight crisp on the outside.

8. Mix gnocchi into the sauce and SERVE!
