- Chicken Egg 1 piece

Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Pierce the skin of the potatoes and sweet potatoes all over with a fork. Place the tubers on a rack set in the middle of the oven and bake at 445°F (450 degrees Fahrenheit) for one hour — the tubers should become soft. Allow to cool, peel off the skin, pass through a potato ricer, and spread onto a baking sheet to cool evenly.
Step 2
Line two or three baking sheets with parchment paper. Beat the egg with nutmeg, a teaspoon of salt, and half a teaspoon of black pepper. Form a mound of the puree, make a well in the center, and pour in the egg mixture. Add grated Parmesan cheese and one and a half cups of flour, and knead the dough, adding more flour if necessary. The dough should be elastic and slightly sticky.
Step 3
Dust the dough with flour and divide it into six pieces. Roll each piece into a sausage shape with a diameter of 1.5 cm, then cut it into slices of 1.5 cm and roll them into small balls. Position a fork at a 45-degree angle against a cutting board, and pass the dough through the tines to create thin gnocchi. Transfer them to prepared baking sheets.
Step 4
In a large skillet, heat olive oil and sauté the sage leaves for half a minute, stirring. Transfer them to paper towels and sprinkle with salt.
Step 5
Thinly slice the chestnuts with a sharp knife and sauté them in the same skillet for about half a minute, then transfer them to paper towels and season with salt. Add butter and half a teaspoon of salt to the skillet and cook the sauce over medium heat, stirring, for one to two minutes.
Step 6
Cook the gnocchi in boiling salted water in two batches, three minutes per portion, to prevent them from sticking together. Transfer the cooked gnocchi to a pan with sauce, warm gently over low heat, toss to combine, and finally sprinkle with sage and chestnut shavings.
