Almond Flour Gnocchi

Almond Flour Gnocchi is a delightful keto-friendly twist on traditional pasta, offering a nutty flavor and a soft, pillowy texture. This easy-to-make dish is perfect for a comforting meal without the carbs.

Ingredients

• Almond flour - 1 cup (100g)
• Cream cheese - 100g
• Egg - 1 large
• Psyllium husk - 1 tablespoon
• Baking powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/4 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon (for cooking)
• Parmesan cheese - 2 tablespoons (grated, optional for serving)

Steps

1. In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, psyllium husk, baking powder, and salt.
2. In a microwave-safe bowl, gently heat the cream cheese until softened (about 20-30 seconds).
3. Add the softened cream cheese and egg to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
4. Knead the dough gently on a clean surface for about 1-2 minutes until smooth.
5. Divide the dough into four equal parts. Roll each part into a long rope, about 1 cm thick.
6. Cut the ropes into 2 cm pieces to form the gnocchi.
7. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully drop the gnocchi into the boiling water.
8. Once the gnocchi float to the surface, cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, then remove with a slotted spoon.
9. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté the cooked gnocchi until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
10. Serve warm, topped with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
