Modo de preparo

1. Make the gnocchi: in a medium saucepan, place the plantains, cover with water, and cook for 15 minutes, or until tender.
2. Meanwhile, prepare the sauce: in a medium saucepan, place the butter and melt over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 3 minutes, or until golden.
3. Add the dried beef and sauté for 2 minutes. Add the cream, milk, and cheese, and cook for 5 minutes, or until the sauce thickens. Remove from the heat and set aside.
4. Drain the cooking water from the plantains, peel them, and, with a fork or potato masher, mash them until you get a puree. Let cool.
5. Add the yolk, salt, and gradually the flour, mixing until you get a homogeneous dough.
6. On a floured surface, roll the dough into cords and cut into gnocchi pieces.
7. In a medium skillet, heat the butter and add the gnocchi in batches; grill over low heat for 2 minutes, or until golden.
8. Remove from the heat, drizzle with the hot sauce, sprinkle with parsley, and serve immediately.
