Keto Gnocchi with Sage

Keto Gnocchi with Sage is a delightful, low-carb twist on the classic Italian dish, featuring pillowy, cauliflower-based gnocchi sautéed in aromatic sage butter. This comforting meal is perfect for anyone looking to enjoy Italian flavors while adhering to a ketogenic diet.

Ingredients

• Cauliflower - 300 grams, riced
• Almond flour - 60 grams
• Egg - 1 large
• Parmesan cheese - 30 grams, grated
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Butter - 50 grams
• Fresh sage leaves - 10 grams, chopped

Steps

1. Steam the riced cauliflower until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Drain well and let it cool slightly.
2. In a bowl, combine the steamed cauliflower, almond flour, egg, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix until a dough forms.
3. On a lightly floured surface, divide the dough into 4 portions. Roll each portion into a long rope about 1 cm thick, then cut into 2 cm pieces to form gnocchi.
4. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Gently add the gnocchi and cook until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
5. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped sage and cook for 2-3 minutes until the butter is fragrant and slightly browned.
6. Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet and toss gently to coat in the sage butter. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
7. Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
