Mussels with gnocchi in spicy marinade sauce

Ingredients:

• 2 cans of mussels in spicy marinade.
• 30g butter
• 30g flour
• 500ml milk
• 1kg potatoes
• 200g flour
• 1 egg
• Salt and pepper

Preparation:

1. Drain the mussels, reserving the marinade.
2. Peel the potatoes and boil them in salted water for about 20 minutes. Once cooked, drain them well and mash them. Add the egg, salt, and pepper, and mix well. Add the flour little by little, until you have a smooth, workable dough. Form the resulting dough into a large, churro-like strand and cut it with a knife, making the most uniform pieces possible.
3. For the sauce, heat the reserved marinade. Meanwhile, in a saucepan, heat the butter over low heat, being careful not to burn it. Add the flour, forming the roux. When the flour is well incorporated, add the hot marinade, mixing everything well.
4. Cook the gnocchi in a pot with plenty of boiling water. When they float, they’re ready.

Plating:

Place the gnocchi on a plate and drizzle with the sauce. At the last minute, lightly heat the mussels with the sauce. Serve with the gnocchi and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
