Ask a Chef reveals the secrets of those superb dishes you ate in cafes and restaurants and wanted to try yourself.

Makes 5 portions

150ml milk

100g butter

5g salt

200g flour

500g mashed potato, cooled

½ egg

Method

Bring the milk and butter to a boil. Add flour and salt.

Cook for about 10 minutes on low heat (like a roux).

Reserve on a flat tray to cool, mixing all the time so it doesn't create a crust.

Add cooled mashed potato and mix.

Add the egg and mix well.

Cut and portion.

Cook briefly in boiling water until they rise to the surface.

Note: At Bella Cucina it is served with cherry tomatoes, which are halved and marinated with confit garlic, rosemary, and thyme under our heat lamps, a few dollops of ricotta, crushed walnuts and shaved parmesan.
