Almond Flour Gnocchi

Almond Flour Gnocchi is a delightful low-carb twist on traditional pasta, offering a nutty flavor and a satisfying texture. This dish is perfect for those seeking a healthier alternative without sacrificing taste.

Ingredients

• Almond flour - 200 grams
• Egg - 1 large
• Psyllium husk - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Water - 2 tablespoons (if needed)
• Grated Parmesan cheese - 30 grams
• Fresh basil - for garnish

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, psyllium husk, and salt.
2. Add the egg and olive oil to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
3. If the dough is too dry, add water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough is pliable but not sticky.
4. Divide the dough into four equal portions and roll each portion into a long rope, about 1 cm thick.
5. Cut the ropes into 2 cm pieces to form the gnocchi.
6. Using a fork, gently press each piece to create the classic gnocchi ridges.
7. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and carefully drop in the gnocchi.
8. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the gnocchi float to the surface, indicating they are done.
9. Remove the gnocchi with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate.
10. Serve warm, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil.
